Heh... It can be argued with equal enthusiasm that numbers can be crunched 
to say anything you wish and make any point that fits your methods.  In my 
opinion, the numbers come about due to events, attitude, momentum and 
over-reactions .. all people things.  The trouble with this thinking is 
that you can't forecast from it.  You can't prognosticate a warm and fuzzy 
decision from it.  You must be reactive rather than proactive to a large 
degree and this is never very comfortable.  Oh well, multiple ideas and 
various means of trading are healthy and I respect everyone's thoughts as 
I'm sure you do.  (I do put stock in % reversals as they are fundamental in 
nature while technical in discovery)

All best,

Bob
