Interestingly enough, I once read that no one over the age of 60 has ever _retained_ perfect pitch
I also thought that was interesting. Also, wouldn't the tolerance be doubled when you add them in series? Or does it still average out to +/- 5%?
Insightful article. Not something I had considered before, but also...isn't this just a fancy way of defining a geometric sequence thats convenient for values in base-10?

Do you really think that the people who worked on this study didn't consider your knee-jerk level-1 confounding factor? Obviously they look socioeconomic status into account when they were studying all-cause mortality, what study wouldn't?
