If you could talk to Google, what would you ask about the disavow file operations?

  Micah Fisher-Kirshner: Real quick questions that come to mind:
  -Can it be used solely to deal with algorithm updates (like Penguin)?
  -Given that Matt Cutts has said you should treat the disavow tool as weed whacking rather than as a scalpel, when is it appropriate to use it for a scalpel rather than as a weed whacking tool (ie: when is NOT using the domain: appropriate)?
  -If we're supposed to build sites as if Google doesn't exist, why should we ever use the disavow tool, something only for Google?

  Simon Fryer: Great question +David Harry ; ;
  
  My questions are probably more controversial than helpful, but I'll post them up anyway. ;
  
  First of all a note to anyone considering using the disavow tool - don't do it unless you have received a manual webspam notification. It will do you much more harm than good. ;
  
  (1) - ;I would ask them whether or not the data on spam they gained from it was worth the damage that was done to thousands of online businesses by using it incorrectly. ;
  
  (2) - I would also ask why there have been no cases of the disavow tool effectively helping sites recover from non-manual link penalties, such as anchor text over optimisation, if indeed this was the purpose of the Disavow Tool. ;
  
  (3) - I would ask why link disavow files which were intended to help companies recover from Penguin in November 2012 weren't 'run' until the launch of Penguin 2.0, 7 months after the previous Penguin releases. ;

  W.E. Jonk: Can it be easier? The UI isn't that great why not embed in "links to your site"? I cannot see the "average" webmaster using this tool, so will it go away due to inactivity like page speed? Can I have a progress status (was it successful or still pending)? ;

  Jim Munro: I would ask Google if there is an ETA for the introduction of a link disavowal tool list that is useful for algorithmic penalties.
