This is how Google itself put it: "The PageRank that is displayed in the Google Toolbar is for entertainment purposes only" because the data shown by the toolbar is not up-to-date.

To return that quote to context:

The PageRank that is displayed in the Google Toolbar is for
entertainment purposes only. Due to repeated attempts by hackers to
access this data, Google updates the PageRank data very infrequently
because is it not secure. On average, the PR that is displayed in the
Google Toolbar is several months old. If the toolbar is showing a PR of
zero, this is because the user is visiting a new URL that hasn't been
updated in the last update.

So obviously they are referring to the delay between updates.

www.americasbest.com. The site was started in 1998. It has a toolbar PR 0 (and has had one for quite some time now), while the page has a total of over 25.000 inbound links, including links from Yahoo directory and links from .gov and .edu sites.

Awesome! Thank you for making my point for me. See, if you had gone by ILQ you'd think that americasbest.com was a credible website, but going by PageRank we know that they are not. They do not have PR because the vast majority of their links are reciprocal links. Awesome example, and with that I rest my case.
