Brec -

That point, again, is that as short positions accrue unrealized losses they become a larger proportion of one's portfolio, while long positions become a smaller proportion.

Let me paraphrase your point and see if I have it correct...

given a short position and a long position and identical unrealized losses you are stating that the short position takes a larger chunk out of portfolio Vs the long position...if that is the case you are saying the value of a portfolio with the same unrealized short loss has lesser value than a portfolio with a long position and the identical unrealized loss
