Absolutely true. While google is capable of recognizing duplicate content when only minor changes are done, it slips through once you properly rewrite a feed...and even if the duplicate content detection becomes better, I doubt it will change anything.
Search engines have a problem: The more sophisticated their DC detection becomes, the higher the collateral damage, sites that didn't copy anything but still appear to be similar.
