>>>Many people will say that "3 way links can be detected", so what, so can reciprocal links

The question by the original poster was if they see them as legitimate one-way links. I think they're seen (by the engines) for what they are (if we're talking more than a handful)... three-way links. If someone is doing them in mass as a means to fool the engines into thinking they're all one-way links, they'll likely be detected... again, as three-way links.
