Suddenly they are not?
Some site names are so unique they can't be mistaken for anything else, and for years "G" had them listed first in the results. Suddenly they are not ? Google thought it was a brand yesterday but now it doesn't?
I'm simply saying that it feels like he's (and others here) are too strongly defending big "G" and the thread becomes more of a dominance thing rather than a discussion where there is possibility for both parties to be right about something and also wrong about some things.
Maybe people's site's need work ... AND ... maybe Google is messing up.

Yes this was my point as well. Others who do the hard work of daily working on their SEO, rankings etc are experiencing these bad times. So what chance does a small site/brand like mine have when I see, as you mentioned, huge sites with lots of backlinks suddenly not showing up.
So I think what you say at the end of your post may be true: both things are happening (sites need work/Google messing up).
We webmasters should learn to get along since stuff like this affects all of us, and it's porn against the world sometimes.
