As an 'outsider', someone who isn't privy to Google's internal secrets, there is no way to prove what works and what doesn't. There's no way to prove doing x will hurt you and doing y won't hurt you.
You're up against a black box. You don't know what kind of data Google collects how they use it.
There's no way to prove the existence of a causal connection between doing Z and getting A or B as a ranking. At best you can point out some kind of correlation.

That's a logical fallacy. The fact that site X uses service Y does not prove that using service Y hurts you or won't hurt you.
