Am I reading this wrong?

According to the wiki article, the quasar is 16 bn light years away, but the light we see from it is only 10 bn years old?

Duh! Thanks.

But we usually don’t speak that way about things that might be thousands or millions of light years away but I bet at those “small” scales the difference might be negligible in conversation.
