At least, that's what Google's explanation is...
Many authority sites (BBC, NY times, Reuters etc.) syndicate their content around the globe. If those articles were penalised, Google would be penalising the true authorities.

You're correct. The web would be a hell of a lot smaller if they penalized every site which had information that was posted somewhere else. There's a huge difference between penalizing a site for duplicate content and simply not rewarding them for it.
