That’s great and all, but why announce to the world (ie..google/matt cutts) "Haha, you missed!  Bet you can’t do it again"?In other words, if you were walking down the beach with your metal detector searching for treasures, then you unearth a treasure chest stuff full of millions of dollars, would you tell everyone on the beach?

Of course he knows.  It’s the theory everyone throws around called FUD.  Trying to scare people into believing the worst possible case.  If you start saying they’re all fluff, they actually could wax everyone.Good controlled test though!
