The point Im trying to make is that trading links or accepting/declining the same based on what Google allows you to see is about the most useless endeavor you could ever take - sure 5 years ago it worked when Google still allowed you to see the actual page rank of a page through their directory listings from Dmoz, but other than that its disappeared

It doesn't have to be actual or a real-time current display of your PR to be useful in judging a sites importance in Googles eyes. Does it?
If the toolbar shows me a site with a pagerank 2 and another one with a pagerank of 6, it's easy for me to make a good guess at what site is viewed as more important to Google. Are you saying that the above example would be completely useless?
If so, I'd like to see what you're talking about backing up as I'm interested in this topic.
