Hi there - very interesting stuff here - to better understand Google and where they are going is to read up on
www.zeromomentoftruth.com. I have been following some of the seo webinars from the last Affiliate Summit and interesting enough is that they all say that they do not really care where a link comes from as long as it is natural.
We tend to get too technical on seo and building links instead of just focusing on relevant and authoritive links. I have been following the advice on one of my new sites and the results have been amazing. Google is not there to hammer websites and webmasters - all they are concerned with is "user experience". When you see the bigger picture and it starts making sense, Google will become your biggest friend (and pension provider).
