In reality, the issue is simply that the sites that contain in-depth writings don't get updated as often as the blogs, forums, and content farms that contain superficial information. Google's engines are tweaked to always prefer sites that are updated very regularly, so as to sift out obsolete information.

Choosing between promoting new and updated information and promoting static information I think the former is a better choice for most things.
