Well I think it's safe to say that any calming effect that the silents had (per S&H), has completely evaporated ... the only ones with any kind of influence are the ones with boomer proclivities, such as McCain.
It seems reasonable that a move from 20 to 25 year turnings would happen eventually. My personal opinion: I think that the thread about it being a model, not a prophecy, was bang on. The theory reflects the rhyming nature of history, but in the same way that an individual shouldn't use macroeconomic theory to manage their own personal finances on a day to day basis, there are bound to be variances between saeculum, possibly significant variances. It's virtually impossible to know or identify what events will be historically relevant without the benefit of perspective. For me, it shouldn't invalidate the theory unless you're expecting to be able to track & classify events in real time.
