How skewed do you think it would have to be for the mean stay to be “short” eg 2-3 years, given the upper bound of human lifetime?

This is one of those things that sounds smart but fails the common sense test.

That's fair. I suppose I'll have to think about this some more (maybe with a pencil and paper).

Perhaps you're right that the gap between median and mean doesn't change the final conclusion. I can't really say at this point.
