The experiment, however, is a valid one. It would be interesting to see what happens.
However, since they know that not everyone will get around to dropping their links, they know the experiment is invalid because of all the inbounds. Naturally if you kill the reciprocals by dropping the outgoings from your page, increasing the number of oneway incomings, you're going to enjoy a short burst of relevance at other peoples expense.
So, lets say that the experiment _would_ be a valid one, if everybody jumps quick and kills all their links to that domain.
