   I realized while answering Andy's questions that what is needed is not to   
   "spoof" any particular Wi-Fi access point location, but to zero it out.   
      
   That is, any app that requires Wi-Fi access point information would get   
   nothing so the app would have to fall back on GPS information instead.   
      
   Which can easily be spoofed.   
      
   Note: You don't use this stuff when you're routing; you use it for apps   
   like a weather app that don't really need your exact location but they   
   require it for the app to work (because they're mining your data).   
      
   So the question morphs to:   
    How to we make sure ZERO Wi-Fi access point data is utilized   
    when precise location is turned on with Google Location Accuracy?
