People say "just follow the guidelines" and you'll be fine, but when you see all these sites showing up that MIGHT have followed the guidelines then it is hard to think Google is serious about their Search Engine anymore.

This may seem obvious, but if such sites only "MIGHT" have followed the guidelines, then how can we draw any meaningful conclusions about those individual cases, let alone make assumptions about Google's commitment to its search engine?
