I'm not saying don't look at TBPR

Well, then I am. I haven't looked at that green bar one single time for at least 4-5 years, possibly six years. It is not a thing I consider when looking at a page or site. Not at all.

Ranking is totally independent of TBPR. Forget the toolbar.

Also, PageRank is not Toolbar PR. These are two separate things.
