Completely wrong.

It says that the order of h* tags is not relevant. Which was also part of Html5 Outline spec.

H* tags are not the only semantic tags.

So it could also mean that they work with Html5 outline spec and value semantic tags, which allows them to ignore the order of h* tags.

So them saying that they ignore the order of h doesnt necessarily means that they ignore all semantic tags.

Well, I'm inclined to interpret "Google Search can rarely depend on semantic meanings hidden in the HTML specification" as meaning exactly what it says. After all, Google's own pages are made of <div>-soup, so I'd hardly imagine that they discriminate against it in others' pages.

Unless you have explicit statements or hard evidence to the contrary?
