Read Matts blog, sometimes I think he hedges a bit. Note the disclaimer, short has it may be. He doesn't speak for Google. Rest assured that someone there checks what he says. Wonder if he has to get approval on comments pertaining to the algo to post in his blog??
For as much affect as google has on the success of business etc. You'd think they would have a more formal and official communication portal with all webmasters.
Worth noting that Google doesn't index their own webmaster forum anymore. Not even crawled as far as I know.
