questions on "sleep, creep and leap" in hostas

We all know that the rule of thumb for hostas is, "The first year they sleep, 
the second year the creep and the third year they leap!"  Here are some 
questions:

1)  Does that apply to mature plants that have a section cut off and then 
that section is replanted.  Does the new section take three years to take 
off?

2)  Is it just tissue culture that this applies to?

3)  Does this apply to most other perennials as well?

Thanks for your responses
