    Sure but even if we drop the age all the way to 13, theyre still 93 years old, and that would be people who only saw combat at the very end.

      Yeah I mean not a statistically significant difference, I just think the assumption set should be as broad as possible as a matter of conservative estimation. We’re trying to show that the living memory footprint is low, which I thought better served by getting the absolute maximum number that could be alive, and it’s still very small.
