For anyone to think, that they can engage in any kind of external link building they wish and the worse thing that can happen is nothing, is being naive.

But, ones "
engaging in ... external link building" is

There is a difference between
actively acquiring links and
passively receiving such.
One cannot logically conflate the two, and thereby conclude that the consequences of the latter are presumed to be those of the former.
