I really do not think you read the post. This is concerning duplicate content and articles getting links and traffic. not on your own site. It is about distributing content to multiple directories. And i can get the articles to rank in a row one after another. All it needs is links to the pages. Of course, if other pages have better links and a similar title , the higher pr will win out. But this is directly related to the links into it.

I promise you that i can distribute an article to 50 directories and get the top 10 positions with 10 different directories if i want to take the time and effort to make them rank by building links.

So, the theory of duplicate content not ranking is not even close to valid. Like i stated before, they may get into supplemental results, but as Matt Cutts said, links gets you out of supp's.
