i think the 'minimising the damage' part is: if we admit to some falls we might not have to admit 'by how much' part!
so...it is 2.3% rather then 10% !
10% can be transferred into numbers like $ 100 000
2.3% sounds much less toxic !
(23 thou? who cares about 23 thousand dollars?)
when the best what RE Industry can buy is 'small falls' story....thats the sign that serious sliding is occuring!
burn baby burn!
