I would have thought somebody redeigning a template would have recovered at random by now

For a variety of reasons i would have thought so to - site design would have to be a part of the quality signal. That's what I'm being advised from a number of different sources - however, I'd have to agree to seeing no measurable evidence of it in isolation. That's why i was surprised.

It's striking how few reports on the finer detail we are getting back given the amounts of folks effected over the last 9 or so months. The Alexa list kind of almost looks like a survey, that makes me feel that a lot of folks have just given up, or that bigger sites represent much more of a challenge to turnaround.
