Since it seems to really not mean anything at all, who cares if they lower your page rank. They haven't updated the TBPR in months so no one knows what their page rank is anyway.

A site that cannot pass PageRank value though its links, cannot pass that value to its own other pages, which then in turn can't pass that on and around the site. The obvious result is a drop in PageRank to almost every internal page (since usually the homepage or root domain has the most inbound link popularity), and even a PageRank drop to the homepage because deeplinks from other sites to pages other than the homepage cannot now pass that value to the homepage through the link structure. Is this a seperate penalty at all, or just the obvious result of a site losing its ability to pass PageRank from its pages? I suspect the latter. It was entirely predicted by anyone that understood PageRank after all. Is there supposed to be some surprise here?
