My bad Virgohippy, I didn't mean to go apeshit on your post.
Anyway, I don't doubt number of link may well be a signal of quality, but it may also be a reflection of database / scalability limitations, assuming any exists (though that's a big maybe). Notice the 100 links advice is listed under Design (sitemap HTML, broken links, dynamic page parameters), not Quality (which include no-nos, like hidden text, doorway pages, cloaking).
