Of course we would never lose trust in Google. This topic has to do with sites seemingly losing the trust of Google from an algorithmic perspective, and if there is any sort of SEO analysis that could be used to offset the apparent losses.

Whitey over at WebmasterWorld Forums explains: He goes on later in the thread to offer a theory:
This is an interesting theory and it is very possible that Google could apply more consistent penalties across sites based on a single factor causing the loss of trust. This ties into both the previous “Google Minus X” discussions and the idea that if one negative factor can hurt an entire site, perhaps it is possible for competitors to damage your organic rankings.
