Sites that publicize their access logs, including referrer statistics, will then end up linking to the spammer's site, which will in turn be indexed by the search engines as they crawl the access logs.

And by everyone, I mean the majority of website owners which own relatively small sites and blogs. As a result, there is less traffic to all our sites, which means less exchange of ideas.
