A reminder that a 2% drop followed by a 2% rise does not return to the previous tops. Drops while appearing small do have their significant impacts felt for longer than expected.

Not sure what you mean.

It takes a 2.05% rise after a 2% drop to get back to the old level.

A 10% rise following a 10% drop gets you an exact 1% loss which is significant. I suspect that's where the village saying originates.
