Despite the downvotes, the point seems valid on its surface. We should expect a losing day this bad or worse more frequently than once per year, which doesn’t sound that scary.
On the other hand, I wouldn’t expect losing days to be evenly distributed (in the short to medium term at least) but rather clumped together.
