I  think  you missed the point. It's just a popular  proverbial  statement
(context  of  bug  reports), which intends to say that the  search  engine
gains  extra  merit  for  its  ability to  rank  good  pages  higher  than
authorities  (e.g.  front  page)  of a given  site.  Toolbar  PageRank  is
exported periodically and it is being rounded up/down to roughly refect on
what Google Sitemap has full access to.

Best wishes,

Roy
