Although an API for Google+ would be very useful, I can see the sense in the above statement. Having only human generated content in Google+ adds a certain quality to it. That being said, there are other ways than an API to post content to Google+, I'm sure.

Very good point. There is a slightly weird aspect though to the divide between the personal posts being poured into G+, and the purely algorithmic results being pumped out the other end by Google Plus Your World et al.
Certainly, a "cohesive strategy" would be to give a more human feel to the search results (or, easier -- Kill All Humans) but in the meantime it certainly doesn't feel like different aspects of a single magical piece of huggy software. Perhaps five or ten years down the track it may seem more organic, meanwhile it has this disjointed feeling which may be contributing to the lack of love for the Googles at the moment. I pour my heart into you, robot. Why do you give me nothing but cold metal?
Sure would love for an API though so that enterprising developers could hack up some interfaces other than the one-size-feels-itchy-on-all.
