The article ends with: "Summary So here You have it. Google can index (and indexes) hidden text and dynamically inserted text. If content is relavant to Your website, You won't get penalty from google."

I think that's disingenuous. The panda algorithm is believed to specifically target duplicate content. You're saying that if I had a website full of content stolen from more authoritative web sources that I wouldn't lose any ability to rank? I think you're wrong :)

It's not disingenuous, it's just plain incorrect. :)

My dictionary website was Panda-penalized because it showed citations of slang use from books, news articles, TV shows, movies, etc. The citations were loaded via AJAX.
