The latter implies an overall objectivity that in reality just isn't there.

I completely disagree. People understand that an algorithm doesn't just write itself, and as such, every single algo will reflect the innate biases of its coder. The algorithm is 100% objective in applying and ranking sites based on these biases. As such the term "algorithmic results" is about as accurate as you can get.
