I really like the depth to which you showed the impact of this. It's significant despite some of the gaps, including the lack of local inserts with singular terms vs. Plural that seem more likely to generate the 3 and 10 packs. The ranking worls is a rough ride already and will only get crazier if the regular natural results go local this way. Maybe they should if user intent can be determined a great deal. I'm all for giving engines some room to be wrong sometimes. As they move to the natural waters, there may be a danger of publishing down valuable results if they decide to display both national and local listing for a non-geo term. Now that will be interesting.
