I remember a story a public policy professor once told me:

Back in the 1980's when Ronald Regan was President one General reported to him that they had discovered that the Russians had a missile that the U.S. was previous unaware of. The U.S. knew of the Soviet SR-19 missile (I'm making the name up) and the SR-20, yet the new missile that the U.S. had discovered had capabilities between SR-19 and SR-20, yet was code-named SR-21.

Regan in his infinite wisdom replied, "I see...the Russians named it SR-21 to screw us up."

The General replied, "No sir...we gave it that name."

The point of my example? Don't worry about the definition...worry about why the market corrects 20%. Furthermore, the market just doesn't go down 20% for no good reason as your examples are trying to claim. If it did...20% wouldn't be the defining percentile.

Clear enough for you?
