I think I know the secret sauce of hittail. It might possibly be the distance between words in the page. It might also be the distance within a paragraph, or other delineators.
I know this because searching for a phrase for example "Rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for a growing number of digital audio players" shows 5 results
this one shows 7:
"Rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for a growing number of digital"
this one shows 1020:
"Rockbox is an open source firmware replacement for a growing number"
this one shows 1330:
"Rockbox is an open source firmware replacement"
The greater the distance between the words the more under-performing potential energy the phrase has.
Discussion continues here.
This is my intuitive hunch after my entirely unrelated examination of many serps. What do you think?

Hey there Justin. First time visitor to your blog by way of the HitTail forums.
I do know that I love your testing and examinations of HitTail. I'm sure you got plenty of other experiments going on and I look forward to future posts on HitTail like this one.
World's most creative website - An experiment using HitTail
I think I might have been wrong, as now the the words don't even need to be on the page
