> can it really be that they should tell us what to do.

No. They have no right whatsoever to tell us what to do. We may do what we want, when we want, and how we want.

If we want to do what we want, they should not tell what and how and when to do or don't do it.

In short: They should not tell us what to do.

By the way,
can it really be that WE should tell Google what to do?

Hope it's understandable. We may do what we want. And so does Google (or any other search engine).
If they say they will consider paid links _not_ as they consider natural links, they may say and do so freely.

And.. It can really be so.
