I don't think anyone cares about it not working real time. Collating data in a way that allows it to be manipulated takes time, but allows you to do far more with it than you can otherwise.

That's 5 words.

Lacking the references is of course a flaw.

Another one is that WolframAlpha will always have out-of-date information by design. It collects data from some external sources and tries to turn these data into something more complicated that just inverted index (as in Google case). This takes time and needs always be adjusted to changing formats of sources. In two words - will never work real-time.

Where you've written "admission" (4th paragraph from bottom), should that read "omission"?
