    For better and for worse, that “statistic” is pure nonsense. Some guy basically just made it up and sort of tried to make the historical data look like it fits, but if you look into it it’s going to give you a headache.

      Also super dumb to assert “after x years, it always dies!”

      Like ya, everything already dies eventually. Imagine writing “every human who lived past 70 ALWAYS DIES!!!”
