I see that BC has already given you a very creditable (as usual) response..

Just to add one thought which occurs to me on reading your post:

<< if it is broken, the most common thing I see happen is people redrawing it keeping the older point where it is. IE, they typically adjust the later, more recent point.>>

What that statement may miss is that the more recent point only emerges after it becomes evident that the extreme of a new {minor recession} {minor advance} has been recorded. So the new more recent point does have some significance.....

As BC indicates, there are some features of trend lines which affect their :"character/importance/durability"...A 3-point touch, as BC notes; length of time a line has been in effect; steepness of angle of ascent or descent....(some of the things I've touched on, for example in taking about AAPL and TIE lately)...
