Billy.... it has occurred to me that these people don't even look at the specific measures on the vertical axis. They see a dropping line and their head automatically explodes.
More likely though is it is a matter of perception. We all know people who are prone to the hysterical.... we see things that wouldn't even make us bat an eyelash but other people get highly angst about. See it everyday near me on the Long Island Expressway.... a phenomenon known as "rubbernecking". People who slow down almost to a stop to view a car accident.... even if it is a fender bender for three or four cars. Guys like Old Rocks and Crick would go home and say they saw a "massive car wreck" where you and I would barely notice. These alarmists have a very different perception of their environment compared to most people.
