Another good article, I'm guilty of using the "link juice" phrase a lot. Unfortunately, I don't think writing an article that defines everything is going to make it any more acceptable, I will still get confused/amused looks from my clients.
Your section on Google Bowling was especially interesting to me as I was quite certain I had read that Google had addressed this years ago in an update. Apparently it is still a problem but Google has said that they do remove this bad sites from their index to remove the negative effects but persistent Black Hatters could still cause you problems. Here is my source: http://searchengineland.com/got-bad-incoming-links-google-says-dont-fret-it-27974
Steve, regarding Google Bowling, I also believe Google has a pretty good handle on this. It's been my experience that they are more likely to find the source of the paid links and simply devalue them, rather than to penalize the site.
