>algorithms will be smart enough to auto de-rank copycat sites or blatant plagiarism

So... if google creates an algorithm to detect copycatting/plagiarism it's okay for them to deploy it, but it's not okay if they do it by hand?

No, I thought more about my comment a day later. I don't know what a fair answer is. Being ranked on page 216 by an algorithm or de-listed manually is basically the same outcome.
