Well, a recession is technically two quarters where the GNP drops. Well, given the drastic drop in everything post-9/11, it really had nowhere to go BUT up by november. The circumstances don't fit the normal curve model because the models don't know how to account for a shock like that, just like they didn't know how to account for the shock in the computer-generated mini-crash of '87.
