it only adds knowledge if you've shown a correlation that isn't already implied by "significant reversal". i would think that "significant declines precede significant reversals" is true by definition. then its just up to everyone to decide how to quantify "significant decline" and "significant reversal". to do that, you certainly have to look back more than 4 years.
