I wonder if this is the actual philosophy Google had at the time or if they always planned to be what they are now.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of Steve Wozniak / Steve Jobs split personality thing going on. Maybe one or the other person involved were serious about the "don't be evil" thing. But the others were not.
There will always be a difference between the two-things-in-a-basement mentality and the oh-god-won't-somebody-think-of-the-shareholders mentality.
Don't be evil, you know.
