It's probably a factor, but it's not all that Panda's about. I can say that with 100% certainty.

I have a site that I setup a few years back. It was just a test site that I probably put 10 total hours into, but it basically just pulled in a feed through a third party API. There is no original content on the site, and there are currently over 1 million indexed pages.

However, the user metrics are the absolute best of any site I've ever had. 20 minutes on site average, 4% bounce rate, 15 pageviews per visit. It's a monster in terms of user metrics, but it got demolished by Panda 1 and has never recovered. Bing loves it, though.

The uniqueness of your content clearly matters.
