Google Does Not Obey the Principles of Basic Logic

If you search for {pregame}, Google returns 1,670,000 results. If you search for {pregame -crunk} — the Google way of doing {pregame NOT crunk} — Google returns 1,070,000 results. One can immediately deduce from these numbers that there should be approximately 600,000 results for {+pregame +crunk}. A − B = A − A∩B, right?, right?

Nope. Google returns only 4,250 results for {+pregame +crunk}, and only 9,200 for the apparently less restrictive {pregame crunk}. (I'm using curly braces to indicate that I'm not putting quotes around these queries, obviously — I'm not looking for this exact phrase.)

So what the fuck, Google? Where are the rest of the 600,000 pages that contain both "pregame" and "crunk"?!
