Matt Did It Again: Again Pagerank Changes?

So what happens when you have a page with “ten PageRank points” and ten outgoing links, and five of those links are nofollowed? Let’s leave aside the decay factor to focus on the core part of the question. Originally, the five links without nofollow would have flowed two points of PageRank each (in essence, the nofollowed links didn’t count toward the denominator when dividing PageRank by the outdegree of the page). More than a year ago, Google changed how the PageRank flows so that the five links without nofollow would flow one point of PageRank each.

Ah I wish I could bring myself to believe half the stuff that Matt Cutts says, but this actually has been proven to be somewhat in the area of truth…

I still don’t get it. I have read through Matt’s whole post and almost every comment. When I have 10 page rank points, and 5 go out with do-follow – where do the other 5 go? I thought there is no PR lost?!?!?!
