Well, in theory I suppose yes, although in most scenerios, it would probably take more than that and you would need a pretty big budget to buy the site-wides. But for simplicity reasons I'll give an example.
Site A goes and gets sitewide links from 10 different websites totaling 1,000 links total in one months time.
Site B gets 1 link from 20 different related websites over 3 months time.
Which of these do you think will still be around in 6 months?
Point is site wide links are huge red flags.
