"For what it is worth, another observation based on IH's example is that 200 pages is the new entry ticket for relevance in Google's world. If a new site does not present 200 pages of quality content and make a wide, not narrow footprint, I don't believe it has a shot of cracking into its market".

If this is the case Google is finished. What most people are searching for is detailed information, something they are not going to find on a "shotgun site". When I search for product or service the last thing I want is to have to search through 200+ pages of dreck to find the nugget I'm looking for. Content is one thing, but throwing up thousands of pages on a topic that could be covered in 50 and giving them preference could only have one reason.....adsense.
