The question is "how can you tell if Google thinks..."... not "Does Google know..." The simple answer is you can't know what Google "thinks", other than knowing your site is banned. A site dropping from #3 to 900 can be for a few reasons.
Further, my point was that this stuff is totally irrelevant to someone if they aren't doing shady shit on a large scale and knowingly pushing the limits. 99% of these questions are about people worrying about nothing, myth and hype, who should just be building their sites and going about their business.
