pretty well accepted among SEO-types, yes?

I think most do - there a some who argue strongly that there is one - I do not think there is.
It all started when Google did its big updates (Florida, Brandy, Austin) and people looked for reasons for the big changes - OOP was speculated then (along with a lot of other things). Some people de-optimized their sites and they came back - others did nothing and they came back. I had a different ceral for breakfast on the day the one site of mone that dropped came back ---- cause and effect???
The only OOP penalty or filter that does exist is the spam. To me over-optimization = spam.
I do think there are things that Google employees have called "quality signals" (either good or bad) that Google looks for, that may be interpreted as an OOP.
