    I don’t know, Google controls the board and all the rules. The SEO people are just the players trying to play by those rules.

      No, SEO people’s job is to exploit those rules to maximize visibility at all costs. I’ve worked with those people. They will do all sorts of shit, put out all sorts of spam to rank one spot higher in the results. They expend insane amounts of effort trying to figure out how to trick search engines into ranking their stuff higher, into finding weaknesses in the algorithms. They’re absolutely NOT innocent players of the game.
