" From a very quick, level-1 read [1], the paper you link to doesn't mention that simpler model. Instead, it compares Google flu to previous versions of itself."

This is actually a proven method of disinformation called false/incomplete comparison that advertisers use to sell products. I'm not accusing Google of doing that so much as saying them scoring a new tech against a defective one to say something about the new tech in general should be dismissed by default since it's a broken comparison of same kind used in fraudulent advertising. Aka it's bullshit.
