It proved that clicks on other websites are being incorporated in Bing's rankings, which had already been public knowledge, I think. It didn't prove that only or disproportionately clicks on Google are being thus incorporated, although that is what Google is repeatedly claiming.

Is Matt Cutts suggesting that Bing special-case an exclusion for Google results?
