Where have you folks derived this theory, which you have repeated a number of times, that being part of a network is the source of the problems?

Has Cutts or google said something specifically that leads you to think this?

I haven't been able to follow the logic that it's the networks that are responsible, when the other factors that google has emphasized (anchor text, too high a percentage of reciprocals, lack of oneway incomings) are all so clearly a big part of the recent model of adult linking.
