If half are over 82, what does that make the other half?
I'll wait for you to figure that one out.
1.2 is major, no way to slice it. Because either we've been lucky for decades with all of the slight increases or something major just happened.
Now you're trying to color the discussion by projecting things onto me. I never used the words "horrific" or "nightmarish" or even "terrible".
I used the words significant and astronomical. Because they apply. When we've been slowly gaining by 0.1 years/year, a drop of 1.2 years is a -1.3 change. That's a 1300% decrease compared to previous years. Those sorts of scales of difference are typically found in astronomy.
Why do you have a vested interest in downplaying what happened over the past year?
