They say they don’t tell people to delete old content, but then they say that old content does actually affect a site in terms of it’s average ranking and also what content gets indexed.

"They say that old content does actually affect a site in terms of it’s average ranking" -- We didn't say this. We said the exact opposite.

Sorry if I’m misconstruing what was said, but then it seems that what was said isn’t consistent with what actually happens.
