I don't take this person's opinion as an authority on the matter,
but to me the test seems convincing enough to not waste time by running my own tests.
Hhhm, its an interesting article. If a bit floored! Why did he write the "unique keyword" on the page in real text?

I would do it more like this.
  • Create a new orphaned page. Ill make it appear to be an average page - with metas, structured textual content (but with no mention of the blog anchor text) and outward bound links.
  • Start dropping comment links with a made up name like "professor van billy winkle" - no results with speech marks.
  • Start adding links to forums using that anchor text and see what happens!
There is no need for the site to be listed before hand coz it will tell us more if the nofollow links ARE THE ONLY route to the page.

I'll do it tonight and let everyone know of developments. Any input welcome!?
