An entity attacked the peg with 100,000 BTC, its sort of a black swan event.

Isn't it kinda inevitable that if there is money to be made someone will try to make that money?
if your protocol is vulnerable to a death spiral initiated by any flash loan by anyone at any time, and people told you over and over again, its not a black swan
I concede your point, but I feel like black swan event isn't a real thing if its some structural flaw that's obvious in hindsight,

eg. its obvious the 2008 housing market was going to collapse, so that's not a black swan, so what is an example of a black swan then?
