I attended a great class at SES East earlier this year that went into great detail on boiler plates.

It is indeed logical to expect links at the bottom of the page, separate from the rest of the content, to be given less value than the links within the content of a page. I wish Matt could also speak on the 'boiler plate' links, links that are the same (like in the header or on the side) on each page of the website. Perhaps they are dealt like the footer links as well? Or they are given different value if they are in the header? Yeah you were right to begin with and Matt cleared this issue for now.
