Would it be really that hard for Google to simply follow the pattern that (If x site gets x amount of links with the anchor text "keyword" in a "x" period if time, the threshold is met and there-fore a filter applies?")

I would have thought by now Googlebot should be able to follow patterns like the above equation. To what extent a filter needs to come into play.. is the question.
