Vitriol? Certainly not from me - I think I've been perfectly civil, and I am trying to understand the situation. I don't think your explanation holds. Pagerank is based on reputation (created by links and other means which Google isn't very specific about), more than on contents. jquery.com has a pagerank of 8, so it can't be all inaccessible to Google. The GP says that blog.jquery.com is inaccessible. So how does jquery.it get a pagerank of 8? Your explanation would look correct if jquery.com had a pagerank of 1 (due to misconfiguration) and jquery.it sneaked in with a rank of 2. But this isn't the pattern.
