he seems to say that he has ranked the newly acquired domain at #1 so quick

Nope, it was already at #1, within 1 week all the major engines have spidered, accepted the 301s and kept the site at #1 with no losses whereas I was actually expecting a good month or so delay and a possible loss of rankings...well happy:-)
