Our handicapping of the situation is that HubPages and Suite101 felt they had nothing left to lose, after the Panda smack down, by openly confronting and criticizing Google.

Do they mean their 'understanding' of the situation? Because their writing is handicapping my understanding of the points they are failing to make ...

Poor, poor attempt from Launch, shame on them. They can do better.

As an aside, I wonder just how long Matt Cutts is going to stay at Google, doesn't he ever get stressed out? He must do yoga or something to write so calmly in response about a piece like that ... me I'd want to shove it down their throats.

Although Matt, come on, run the classifier in Panda again for goodness sake, and let people who have been hard at work improving their sites benefit from a little love. I think enough dust has settled so no one will be any the wiser which of the twenty changes they made to their sites will have made the difference in the new update.
