In other words, it all just comes down to "why can't they simply remove them from your PR calculation if the links are certifiably bad?"

Right. I have a few links that might be questionable (I didn't do anything to create them). MY site traffic has been cut by 50% since April and I would really hate to disavow any link that is helping me just because I am paranoid trying to figure out what Google thinks is a bad link.
