So, you are telling me that Google has been telling lies all this time?
I don't know why they would make something like that up, maybe you could fill me in on that? I borrowed the text below from Google themselves.
"Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your query. So,
Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query."

Also, just to be clear on my part, I am not saying that it's all about PR, but I do believe very strongly that it plays a very big role.
I respect your opinion, but I do not agree with it regarding this.
