Yes it is important but it ain't 1st priority to someone who is in their 80s anymore. Talking about long term on paper, without handling the very real short term distractions in practice, is totally meaningless.
Also try asking the Japanese about time in the market!

True. There are nuances in "time in the market".
Not everyone's circumstances is the same (to your point), not every company is going to come back, not every index is made the same.
