yep...however, these 'paper' losses in this case could severely impair the respective institutions capital base...imo it's more dangerous for the system if such a situation is covered up rather than admitted and properly accounted for.

It's only a paper loss

You left out the next two lines of the song:

...And it wouldn't be make-believe,
If you believed in me.

Or the next stanza:

It's a Barnum and Bailey world,
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe....
