Default Domain name vs Content

I asked in a different thread if a domain name that started with the word 'The' could ever be ranked number one if someone searched that particular domain name. I asked this due to the word 'the' is a stop word and is dropped from the Google search. I also asked to bring up another point. If you have a domain name that is also a competitive keyword, you will be ranked number one no matter what content you have on your page. True?
Well for everyone that is saying false I ask you please to do this.

1. Please do a Google search for " sexy shoes "
2. Now click on the number one ranked site for that search. 'sexyshoes.com'
3. View the page source.

Please notice the tags 'title, description, Keywords'. Also please notice the content that is on the page or the lack there of. And I ask why is this site pulled number one? It is only due to their domain name?

With that thought one could suggest that content is not king in this case. But having the right domain name is.

Now yes everyone knows content is king. I wanted to point this out as this is a keyword we have been trying to rank for and it a little upsetting when you see things like this.

I posted a new thread due to the thread where I first asked this would bring it off topic. If you wish to read that thread though it can be found here
