Google and Matt Cutts, in general, have a larger problem. Cutts never acknowledges that Google works primarily on the language, which is one of the most complex things the human race has ever come up to.
And though language is always at stake in Google search, I don't see any serious semiotic study in whatever they make.
And, apart from that, Google totally sucks on languages that are different than English. They think of a new thing for the English based search and then they'll just propagate it everywhere with no substantial modifications whatsoever.
I've got many sites under me, all writing original content. They're not gonna win the Pulitzer, of course, but at least they're edited, accurately followed by teams of human authors that won't even copy PR as a measure to prevent non original contents to appear on the sites. Although all of these things, we got seriously pandalized.
The results where we once used to stay atop are filled in many occasions by scraper-sites who steal our contents and rank 2 or 3, sometimes up to 5, positions above us on the SERP. I can't even count the times I filled the anti-scraping form anymore. That's not enough, because many times popular sites rank higher than us just because they're pretty popular, although their contents are horribly written, short, totally uninformative.
That happens all the time. You know where we still go pretty strong? On Google News, where the human intervention sometimes really applies.
Google should see what's going on everywhere and their insistence on having matt cutts as its only public voice on this huge issue is becoming really frustrating.
He ends up looking like a fake good guy, perpetrating the hypocrisy of a corporation too big and too convinced they have the ability to solve all the hyper-complex search problems, laden with human generated unpredictability and the natural human tension towards deception, just with pretty algorithms.
