You're not understanding.
If a page has "10" linkjuice to give and 10 links on page, none with "nofollow", all of those paged linked to would get 1 linkjuice. If you nofollow 5 of those links, guess what happens? Thanks to a change Google did several months ago, the remaining 5 links still get only 1 linkjuice each. They did publicize this change. They still encourage people to nofollow sponsor links, BUT nofollowing those and internal links to privacy policy etc. no longer sculpt pagerank.
