Talk:List of unvalidated deceased supercentenarians/@comment-31321778-20170801001205

I think the statement "The age claimed is 110-114 (claims to age 110 are about 35% likely to be true, but those to 115+ are less than 2% likely to be true...citation needed (Typologies of Extreme Longevity Myths" is in danger is misinterpretation. It superficially implies that these are the estimated chances of entries listed here being eventually verified, but in fact it refers to Robert's paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21461047/ which stated those numbers as the proportion of SSDI cases that were eventually verified. Since all cases here have already been scrutinised quite a bit by GRG staff, or at least by very well-informed members of the SC community, I'm presuming that most people here would estimate that the actual chance of a case listed here being eventually verified exceeds 80% - so I think it would be good to make that clear on this page. Thoughts?
