I think you'll find though...the "theoretical discussion" only grew from other members reactions to claaarky's extrapolating his case and findings into being the solution to the ranking since panda of all others, whether they were affected adversely or not..

Done no doubt with the best of wishes..but there is no "one size fits all" "exit metrics solution"..his posts are nevertheless useful directly to some and indirectly, via the stimulation of ideas to others..as I said earlier, the thread has merit..many post panda and post penguin threads here, IMO do not ..
