Is there any evidence that there's any causal link here? Like, it seems like to me it could just be the act of changing something — anything — and the output from review is just a roll of the dice. Sometimes you change something, and it's approved, but given the frequency with which these sorts of articles crop up on HN, I don't think I'd assume that the change necessarily meant anything more than "they changed it". … of course, it would help build confidence that there is a causal link if Google would clearly articulate their reasons for rejection.
