Of course you can reduce airspeed by 25% in cruise if you are cruising at FL250 due to ATC restriction.

Anyway, the topic is not how to avoid turbulence or what to do if you are experiencing turbulence.

Let me make it easier:

Reduce indicated speed by 0.1% = Reduce effect of turbulence by 0.2%

True or False?

@Sidestick: Do you have any reference? what about horizontal gusts?
