I don't see what the big fuss is about. Statistically, someone who knows how to commit mischief has a higher probability of doing it than someone who couldn't even grasp how to do it without great effort. It seems Google values playing the odds over protecting innocent false-positives.
Sure, I wouldn't enjoy being more scrutinized just because of my technical knowledge, but that's life for you and given the rationale I'm willing to be understanding . And on the internet, it takes a relatively minor group of people going misdeeds to fuck up the sauce for everyone.
It's a bit like how you pay more expensive car insurance if you're young because that age group tends to be more reckless even if you're a very careful person.

Agreed. The guy lost it for me when he started talking about Michael Gray. That dude is rabidly anti-google and religiously hates them. I feel sorry for Matt Cutts sometimes with the rough rides Gray gives him on Twitter....
I happen to agree with Google anyway: SEO is "high risk". It disguises the content: so bad content might get a boost.
Yes following good practices is a good move - but a lot of SEO experts are making a ton of cash selling their services to bump the score of shoddy content. And that affects Googles ability to server me good content.
