it might be that we no longer have the page in our index -- so we wouldn't match it

what the ... ? Why do you delete stuff from your index? Even if it's down there's a good chance it'll be archived ...

It's not that it gets specifically deleted. We just don't have infinite space. There's always new pages coming along. Like trillions of pages out there. So we might not get back to revisiting a page and it falls out of our index while other content is added.
