>>> Could Google be devaluing links to the home page? I think that the majority of link exchanges swap links to the home page.

Yowza, I don't think Google has to undergo that path in undermining link swapping or manipulation. It would be more effective by first determining the type of page where the links are placed whether that page is meant for inorganic link placement and then discount its voting strength from there.
