<<You are right about the "margin debt" including margined short positions in addition to long positions>>

OK I believe that explains the whole thing. As we discussed, all shorting, even if not leveraged, requires 50% use of margin.

I'm pretty sure that short selling by retail investors has been totally negligible in any past bears, but I believe it's quite significant this time because OLB's make it so easy.
