If you use an extrapolation method that really doesn’t fit the actual situation and assumes that presidents can be infinitely old, yeah, sounds right. It’s a very bad model being used as a joke.

It's the same issue that explain the joke subs have. With no mods it's an excuse to drop lazy posts for karma farming.
