Excellent summary - that is my impression as well of how the support notes will say "you have no penalty" when you've been killed by filtering of results which will NOT be adjusted manually. I believe G when they say they do not manually adjust results except in extreme cases. If they did there'd be a lot less spam and fewer good site casualities. I think the problem at Google is that they have become religious about the algorithm, trusting it more than human intervention which is now needed desparately for the big money sectors if they want to preserve their place in search.
