I think that'd be a good approach. There was an idea in that time that everything had to be algorithmic, that hand-ranking or singling out individual sites was a bad idea. Ie: tweak a generic algorithm and then test what it does to top garbage sites, don't just penalize the site directly. I think that's not a bad principle but in practice it didn't seem to work well.
