I've seen a lot of situations in which, say, the home page is still there and all the links still exist, but 68% of the locally stored stuff it links to has broken permissions. It happens a lot on rarely-maintained university pages. I'm guessing that in many situations, the page is really the walking dead; the author went away years ago and the linked material is subject to entropic variations in site maintenance.
