Nah dude, sifting flour totally makes better pancakes. They rise so much easier. I'm sure it helps for other baked goods as well

I'm going to bet that this one is going to depend in part on the particular product, and it's freshness/storage conditions, your location relative to the source mill, and ambient weather.

Exactly; if sifting is better for people using old flour why on earth would a recipy skip it?
