You're looking at it the wrong way. Google wants to know if a site is part of a content farm. If it looks at two sites and they have the same public whois info, then they are owned by the same person, it can be 100% sure of that. If they have different public info, they are not owned by the same person, it can be 100% sure of that. If both have private whois, it doesn't tell it whether they are or are not owned by the same person so it has to dig deeper.
