At the time of, and immedately following the second downswing I would have told you I was playing my A game. This was certainly not the case. My game suffered tremendously from those downers and it took a long time to restore/improve my game.

This is a great point and I really can't see how this isn't true for most people.

Absolutely. I think somebody could probably even dig up BBV posts of mine where I claimed I hadn't tilted at all. At the time, I thought it was true. But then, I went over sooo many of my old hands. I lost sooooo much money with KK that I started to miss easy valuebets on the river, played to weak in general, missed checkraises, etc.

At the time, I swore I wasn't tilting. But even though I wasn't "steaming", I was definitely tilting.
