Seems to me there's a bit of give somewhere in that statement. If that were true my LL should be worthless to google - right now it's only a notch or two above worthless.

But I see your point. In my own experiments I've noticed that backlinks from unique pages with backlinks from other unique pages gives a much higher return than backlinks from non-unique pages... well, from google at least.
