What it means, is that if a large percentage of your links come from sites which are not well trusted search engines could either discount those links, or produce a negative weight against your site which more than compensates for the gains given from link spamming.
And therein lies the flaw that means it won't get complete usage in G's algo: All I have to do to hurt a competitor is set up links to him on garbage link farms, spam boards, etc. Never happen - at least not in terms of ranking sites in the SERPs.
