attributing slow price movement to bids being present doesn't make any sense. If that was true then shorts would start blaming each other for the stock not going down quickly because some of them are selling at the ask instead of the bid. Earlier you attributed this same logic to the behavior of market makers. Just because a MM see's a passive order doesn't obligate them to fill it. If they were required to fill all passive orders then they would be filling the ask, not just the bid.
