would i be correct in saying that a 500BB downswing would be something that the player would be LARGELY responsible for? can winning poker (tilt-free)really yield a 500 BB downswing? what game are you playing to get these type of results?

No, not correct, and most definitely yes. If you haven't had a big downswing, you most likely haven't played enough hands against tough opposition yet. Heck, they don't even have to be tough if your luck turns really bad.
