Matt, through his public interaction sessions, gets webmasters to feel 'delusional and positive' at the same time, praising Google for the newest improvements that are uncovered with every friggin update, whereas, truth be told, he just wants people/IMs to 'keep guessing' as to what the recent algos are all about.
Proof-- One page MFA sites are still on the first page google for many different niches. Wasn't google talking about multi-page 'authority' sites a while back? Wasn't google slamming one-page MFA sites a few months back then? so what happened now?

Google is going multi-direction, you like it or not, and that's the first bad omen to an impending 'downtime' for the BIG G.
