I say this because large sites can get away with spammy stuff, while little guys seem to get nailed.

old little sites get hit too. The only common factor that pulls you out of the danger zone is a bang (authority) factor!

The fact that some sites can be marginal seo'd and get nuked while others can cheat to their hearts content and ride the serps is the point.
