Talk:List of longevity myths (130+)/@comment-31918216-20181227020424/@comment-258494-20181227021015

Not all experts and mathematical formulas agree, which is why we have a "range": most agree on 125, plus or minus 3 years. Going to 130+ for longevity myths is intended, in part, to make sure that cases beyond practical possibility are separated from cases that are within the realm of hypothetical possibility. Of course, with any "cutoff"-type system, there will be some questions. But the real "Big Picture" is that there is a difference between longevity claims (believed to be possible) and longevity mythology (not possible).

If, in the future, age 130 becomes possible, we might shift the cutoff point higher.

At this point, there is no reason to do so. The world's oldest validated person is just 115.Ryoung122 (talk) 02:10, December 27, 2018 (UTC)
