Tell HN: Google Apps lies about outage status

If you go to the Google Apps Dashboard you'll see they list everything but "Google Docs List" as having no issues.

http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en

But if you try to go to spreadsheets.google.com (Or Presentations, or try to open a word doc) you'll get a "502 Server Error". I've tried this from three different internet connections (Work, Home via GoToMyPC and AT&T 3G)

When we went to Google Docs we did so based on this Dashboard page (and the fact that it showed no outages). But now I wonder if that was a lie. So I'm posting this here so others will hopefully call Google on this so they'll start accurately reporting their system status.
