---- 302 Redirects continues to be an issue

I bet that was the reason behind googles rollback.

Big dot com engineer decides to modify htaccess so that non-www redirects to with-www but does not specify 301, default is 302.
Google spiders big dot com twice, once with www and once without so there are 2 copies of every page in googles index.
Googles duplicate content filter bans big dot com.

Big dot com freaks, fires engineer and freaks on google.
Google does rollback on index to restore big dot coms SERP's immediately.
