Page is a not externally linkable

Just wanted to point out this interesting GoogleGuy quote that I picked up in another thread. In it he makes reference to a component of the algo, while addressing the topic of hoarding PR: He made a reference to an "authority-like" score then made reference to a "hub-like" score, wherein a web site is given points for being a hub. There is a benefit to you, and the web in general, when linking out. It establishes you as an authority hub. How much benefit is arguable, but it's a benefit.
Am I late to this party?
It's pretty easy to spot domains that are hoarding PageRank; that can be just another factor in scoring. If you work really hard to boost your authority-like score while trying to minimize your hub-like score...
