.china concerned about u.s. government debt .., page-27

BH!, that was an inspired piece of writing, thanks very much for sharing it.

Im not sure if the SNB's devaluation action on the Swiss Franc had occurred when you wrote this. To extend your dinghy analogy a little further - their action is akin to a second guy getting up off his seat to grab hold of the first guy. Now we have two guys mucking up the ship's dynamic stability. Theres no telling how many events could de-stablilise the vessel altogether.
