"..don't worry about this much, not very much at all" does not mean it doesn't have at least a nominal amount of weight. He just "doesn't want us to jup to the assumption...," but never does he unequivocally state that it has no impact. ;)

Very nice points about domain age! I hope he discuss more about this.
-
in short: if G sees two resources almost identical, more older will got +. Thx.

Once again Cutts completely avoids the actual question.
-
@contentwritingadvice I was thinking the same. Is there any video where he actually talked about domain age?
-

I think this Video is mislabeled. Matt was talking about the length of time you register your domain, 1 year, 2 years, so on into the future. He didn't actually talk about domain age, in terms of when the domain and site first appeared online...

The salient points are:
It was not based upon anything google said which means they are not denying it.
Move along folks, nothing to see here. In other words, we do use it in our rankings but I would rather not make it official.
Observation from personal experience:
The "google sandbox" is well in effect so plan your new venture accordingly.
