Instead of saying "self-proclaimed SEO gurus" just be honest, you are
talking about your post on searchenginewatch.com!

Either way, the site in question is still returning one set of URLs to
the search engines and another to users and that is called cloaking.

- The other set of URLs can be accessed via:
http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:K160ysXRpscJ:blitzagency.com/+si...

- The ALT attribute provides "alternative" content and not the DIV
Content in the DIV is hidden from users.

- As you can see Google suggests sIFR and not swfobject!

I don't know if Google or anyone else for that matter could be any
more clear.

So, until these issues are fixed I wouldn't expect an answer from
Google.  So far, I see no optimized Flash only hidden html.  For more
