Have you heard of this thing called privacy?

There have been several people (mainly Timothy McGuire) making up false death dates for many supercentenarians. It is understandable why relatives of supercentenarians may want their loved one's name not to be released while they are alive.

Also, we didn't have pictures of Shige Hirooka and Koto Okubo until recently. Does that mean they were not 114 or 115 respectively? And we still have not found pictures of Clara Huhn (1887-2000) and Agatha Mitchell (1887-2001). They are validated supercentenarians. Just because we don't have pictures of supercentenarians doesn't mean doubt should be cast on their age.
