1) Google remains non-perfect.

2) Every one of its blankets has many holes in it.

3) Some "new" sites have been indexed with placeholders for months/years and likely get treated differently than first time indexed sites.

The main thing though is if you expect perfection and 100% consistent application from Google (or any search engine) you will live a life of constant disappointment.
