I keep looking over the historical graph for broad indexes and I don't really see any window longer then 2-3 years where 3% would come out better. You just need a buffer to withstand those downturns.

VTSAX is a very popular broad-market index fund. Its price was overall flat from October 2007 to sometime in January 2013 - over 5 years - while returning dividends of around 1.5%. 3% beats that pretty handily.
