I've been reading a lot of SEO forums lately so what I said didn't solely apply to Trev. What I think Trev was doing was ignoring data. There are big brands that no longer show up for their names being searched. Brands with millions of backlinks. Some of my sites have links built up over decades, and they were a brand before. 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.
