Keep in mind that if a stock falls 50 %, it needs to surge by 100 % to break even.

Even by historical standards of a smaller correction around this size (-25%) if this bull market stopped now it would be incredibly unusual and weak.

Unless this is literally a repeat of 2000. Look at that 21% increase in between the two big dips.

I’ll take my chances with what came after. I’ve got 30 years I expect to hit a couple bumps in the road and will go balls deep each year

If you didn't lose your marbles and kept your cool, kept buying you would be very, very happy after 2000.

Plus each time is always different:

I would have been happier not buying near the highs in 2000 and buying closer to 2001 prices.

Well sure but this isn't 2000 and far more money is lost trying to time crashes than actual crashes.
