Would it not be easier if Buffie and Trent, the marketing majors, followed Google’s Webmaster guidelines and wrote substantive, interesting, and well formed content? SEO is little more than the digital equivalent of trying to steal candy from Mr. Webber’s candy display.

I love doing SEO and a core rule where I work is Never Try To Trick. I agree entirely, it makes no sense to try and trick Google. Talk about picking a battle you cannot win. I'm happy to say trickery SEO should be debunked. However, it's also "SEO" to explain to the big brand that the reason Google doesn't seem to care for their website is because it's their .ca copy of their entirely Flash .com site. Telling the big brand that they need to add original and quality content - the sort that people would be happy to cite/link to/recommend - is the way forward. There are different flavours of SEO.
