The use of passive voice here is a little comical. "The lion noticed that the gazelle was headed for its stomach, and it turned out to be right."


I don't think I used passive voice in my comment at all. Can you quote the part that is passive?

Only part that might be slightly confusing is:

> People didn’t like it at the time, but they were (for the most part) right.

"They" in that sentence refers to Google, which should make it more clear. But it is still all in active voice.
