I know plenty about PageRank, honest. The problem is that Toolbar PageRank has almost zero resemblance to true PageRank. Google isn't using toolbar PR to determine crawling, crawl budget or anything else. And even Google's team says the toolbar data is a bad metric. They only keep it because they know a lot of SEOs would start crying if they got rid of it.
