301s pass penalties because otherwise it would be really easy to build a spammy site, rank it using rubbish links, get penalised, then 301 the old site to a new site. If the penalty didn't pass you would get the link authority from the old (penalised) site, but not the penalty, so new site would rank well. Which would kind of defeat the point of issuing penalties in the first place. Makes sense when you think about it.
yea definitely does...but 301 penalties can't be major....from experience i've seen a 301 pass on about 95% of its page authority to the new site.
