"is just plain wrong"

It's just plain right, as your own site shows. For starters, your home page links go to
[site.com...]
and not
[site.com...]

You do violate less of the suggestions than most others but you still deliberately do something to confuse Googlebot.

"steveb the real problem is multiple valid server aliases."

helleborine's pages have many problems; a hijacking 302, boatloads of www and non-www dupes are only a start. The bottom line is still a site construction aggressively counter to what GoogleGuy suggested, and what so far no one has posted problems with (which is not to say it couldn't happen only that is makes things less likely).

"The fact that GoogleGuy isn't suggesting that people change their relative links to absolute links indicates..."

He quite clearly says changing is a good idea. Having the 301 is a positive step, but its silly to think its some massive coincidence that all these problem sites have canonical issues in common.
