Does Google have a System Restore Button?

When things go wrong does Google do a system restore to May 2005?

Is it as crazy as it sounds? The last safe set of data that Google made an impression of was back in May & June 2005 and that's why every time that things go wrong our chache dates revert to this earlier time. Not a problem if you haven't renamed your files since then, but if you have kept the same data and changed the page names ... you get a penalty for duplicate content that only exists in Google's cache bank.

It's the only reason that I can give for this constant drop in positions.

I only this mention this because I see a slow recovery to my former positions on a page by page basis. The pages only return when their older supplimental page name is removed from the site: search results.

Probably just grasping at straws for a logical reason behind all this waste of time.

This would also explain why "info:" returns outdated information, as do the results for some (but not all) search terms that return our home page. A bit frustratng, as I have no idea how to get Google to update to the current Description metatag information (the cached version of the page us current...).
