why did you pick 9 years? When you use an arbitrary number like that, it looks like cherry picking.



The OP mentioned 9 years.


imho was still a fair question, no need to downvote. Not arguing with the index argument, but I've had finance "experts" trying to pull similar tricks on me by using weird years, etc.


There's a big difference between "these specific 9 years" and "the average 9 year span". It's a lot harder to make cherry picking arguments with the latter.

Flip the bozo bit xor conman bit on anyone using the former.
