Links affect far more than just a single thing including other metrics. One cannot look at them simply in the singular and automatically assume it applies to whole. The whole (the agregate) can easily be considered differently and can easily involve different metrics than the singular.

Does "zero'd out" mean that obtaining hundreds or thousands of links from a "flagged" site has zero affect on on the "authority" or "trust" of a site that is new and/or has a weak link profile?
