While I agree, a market drop of 10%-15% is something I'd be happy to avoid. A 10% gain annually is something most investors hope for. That much of a drop and you start to lose sleep. Also, I think for most people, a loss is a lot more emotional than a gain. I'll keep an eye out for this potential drop.
