If I get several hundred new valid natural links and they don't count because they were acquired too quickly is the same as a penalty.

Well, that's not exactly what I meant to say, hehe. :)

There are more considerations at play than the rate of acquisition. So I think the premise of this discussion is flawed because it's only examining one part of a greater whole.
