Your logic is:

Google's logic is more like:

for keyword xxxxxxx:

1 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 .... (N) = 32


That's the anchor texts making some links not count.

It's more complicated than this of course, but in this simple visualization it should be clear.
You're addressing weight, while I'm talking about the semantical value of that which is weighted.
