Google has never said that Penguin is all about links..that has been assumed and extrapolated ( from what was said by Google ) by the Gurus and those who blindly follow them..

Yep. And it's always worth it to go to the source [googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com].

Just don't expect for Google to rid the SERPs of every bit of spam at the same time. That's just an impossibility.
