The reliability is at a much higher level than whatever insignificant gaming anyone religious or not might want to try to risk resetting their trust level for their user account on the system. And you only have one real life identity. Once you are a detected gamer/spammer/cheater, Google can identify your real identity as being such and it basically blocks you from influencing the system again until they find that you can be trustworthy again.
So now google is fool proof? I guess you never heard of Google bombing then. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb And that's just people manipulating search results, attach direct financial payouts to the results and every kid script kiddie that can code an algorithm will target google the next day.
