Could the Google Patent have been a Trap?

Could Google be spidering for major changers - post patent release?

Is it possible that Google made such a big deal of its latest patent release to see who would make big changes to their sites?

I only mention this as I have used the same construction methods for many years with great success, over many sites and many sectors & the only site to be totally crucified in this succession of algo changes is the site that I knee-jerked with.

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it seemed they were fishing for flags.
