"All" of us are not confused. I stand by my answer, the cached pages come
from google itself and you will have to block google entirely to avoid this
problem.

Some content filtering software or filtering appliances are capable of
recognizing sites that hold cached content and blocking them. In a strict
environment (say, public internet access for children at a shelter) I would
enable this, which would in fact block many seach sites.
