I found a fun thread at DigitalPoint Forums with a poll that asks, "Do you believe EVERYTHING Matt Cutts says/writes?" Currently the poll is weighing on the NO side, of the answer.
The question is valid. Matt is an extremely nice and caring guy. Anyone who knows him, will vouch for that. But at the same time, he and his crew are in a position that is extremely sensitive. He has to speak and write in a very diplomatic fashion. Some people find that type of communication, well - a bit dishonest. But is it really? Can you blame Matt or anyone in his position for having to hold back pieces of information or to not give you or I the harsh truth, each and every time?
So does Matt always tell the 100% truth in every case? Technically, I would think he does. But does it always contain all the details, is he holding back? I would think so and I would hope so.
