then it's probably good enough to avoid problems with Panda too

Judging by the list of quality sites that have been hit hard by Panda I don't think that's the case.

Vince, Panda, the other countless tinkerings... does it really matter?

Google has a vision of what the internet should be and any site not conforming receives no exposure, end of story, except Google isn't sharing specific details about what that ideal is so I offer that all webmaster energy wasted on trying to please Google would be put to better use creating better websites. Let Google catch up for a change, as a webmaster YOU are in charge.
