Good to hear Adam and Vaneesa agreeing that PR Sculpting is not much to worry about.

I agree that most sites need to take care of the fundamentals long before thinking about PR sculpting.
  Robots.txt can keep the bots off a page, but it is no guarantee that the page won’t be indexed plus it does not prevent PR from flowing to the page through internal and external links.
“Now, robots.txt says you are not allowed to crawl a page, and Google therefore does not crawl pages that are forbidden in robots.txt. However, they can accrue PageRank, and they can be returned in our search results.” -- http://www.stonetemple.com/articles/interview-matt-cutts.shtml

Vanessa makes it sound as though PR sculpting takes a lot of effort.  In most cases, I disagree.
