When you say "Google keeps a very private list of a very limited number of web sites that it trusts 100%" you imply that TrustRank has been implemented by Google. That is a bold assertion but it would appear that you don't understand the concept anyway. I suggest you read these posts TrustRank Q & A and then rewrite your article. - Michael
I think he is saying that in a "like" statement, he is not saying anything as an absolute there. The concept of google viewing links from "trusted" sites more than others would make sense. Similar to a PR
From what I've seen many seo's say, TrustRank is implimented. I did review your faq's. I do think I had a disconnect between my 2nd and 3rd paragraphs, upon further review.
