Singularly, as in "a link" I don't disagree. But, I believe the algo looks at things, and evaluates things, as a whole as well.

What's the probability of 2 pages having exactly the same "score" (for lack of a better way to put it) for every single metric considered?
Now if you're referring to a "total score" (again for lack of a beter way to put it) then my supposition would be that the individual metrics are weighted in order of their importance... ie title is more important than H1 which is more important than H2 which is more important than H3 etc. (to oversimplify it).
