Actually get links from relevant niche sites/blogs does important, they give your links more weight for the PR calculation.
When someone can document that then I'll be convinced. From a SERPS standpoint I will agree that relevant links are more valuable than non-relevant links however.

The pagerank is calculated every time by google but we can't see that, the PR that you see is from the google bar - that is the one updated every 2-3 months.
Google decided to differentiate the update since people are crazy about backlinks and wanted them to focus more on contents than backlinks.
Agreed, however I don't put too much stock in the little green bar. It's not the "actual" PR, as I believe the actual PR is figured on something more like a decimal point system. The bottom line is not to worry too much about PR and concentrate on getting quality links and even off topic links. It's just that some links are better than others. They all help.
