This are my thoughts as well, but Bagi does seem to think hyphen give you some sort of edge over non hyphenated domain names.

Same IP address
Same size pages
Same bolding etc
Same out links

Cheers OWG, I have incorporated that info the design

Temi, i will be ready to execute this game between us next week. Today i will travel to the capital city for a family visit. I didn't say that google prefers domains which are hypenated, but if you have a given website with a certain content having a related keyword rich domain name with hypens you will achieve better rankings with same efforts.

Okay Bagi, the domain is being registered and we can start when you get back home

[Bagi Zoltán]

Cheers!
