> Google has spent the past two years punishing webmasters

I wouldn't say punishing, but definitely using a really broad brush. You can have Coca Cola's secret formula on your site, but if your site matches a few parameters that Google sees on spammer sites, you're done! They have gone from a presumption of innocence, to a presumption of guilt.
