tldr; Don't try to fool google. It take genuine efforts with quality of your content to be on top of SEO.

Given the quality of the search results I've seen recently, I feel like Google has made the ranking almost random... it's only within the past few years that I've had a lot more of "I'm pretty sure there's more information on this out there, but Google isn't showing it ot me" experiences.

At best, Google is correlating concrete things to quality. There are plenty of SEO contests where you can see they can still be fooled. Including a pretty famous one where a site that's 100% Latin ranks for a competitive local search query.
