How so? If the google bot doesn't spider the link it doesn't offer any benefit aside from an actual person that sees the link and decides to follow it. I reread up on nofollow before responding in case my understanding was (more often than not) off. I pulled the following quote from a Matt Cutts response to a question concerning nofollow:
for Google, nofollow'ed links are dropped out of our link graph; we don't even use such links for discovery.
