I doubt, in those cases, that they re-assign back-links that point to resource X and count them as if they actually pointed to resource Y. Or do they?

I think the links and the content on duplicate URL's get treated seperately , and it may throw up some issues on how pages are scored.

Firstly, if 2 pages interlink with the same content, one seems to get dumped [ filtered out ].

Links on the "dumped" pages seem to get counted for zilch ie they appear to pass no PR or link text. They do seem to get counted for content value though , if they are unique.

A "dumped" page does seem to show for unique snippets. I've seen pages with PR0 [ that would otherwise have green TBPR ) that are duplicates and still rank for those unique terms.

Is this what others are seeing ?
