Although I think they have probably tested things and possibly look at data to see how they can implement it, I think it is really difficult to believe that they are truly implementing this as a major factor in the algo. This is much easier to manipulate than any link based algorithim.

I think it will eventually play a role in things, but I don't think a company who can't figure out how to handle a 301 has an algorithim based on user behaivor patterns.
