Definitely agree with this! It undoubtedly keeps the brain muscles active...making constant decisions...though I'm now into in play. I'm 78 with start of Parkinsons...physically failing...well from skiing etc...but brain still sharp....or as sharp as ever was (not very!!)...but defo credit BA with keeping me going....a new challenge to tackle every single day....& something to look forward to.

It more or less said that if something has been going for 20 years they you should assume you are probably in the middle of it's life. It's unrealistic to expect to catch the very start or end.
It offered various mathematical proofs but pointed to the distribution to truly understand expected life.
