@jradoff 14% max over 55y is. It means when you sample between individuals, age will be noise unless you are comparing large groups. — PolitiTweet.org

Outside of professional athletes (the tails, maxima), age seems to be just noise. Standard Extreme Value Theory: the extrema has a different distribution than the average. In competitions w/professional athletes we observe the maxima. In real life, noise around an average. https://t.co/LDfJmUvzHR — PolitiTweet.org

2) We are not comparing random people on the street where age plays a big role since older people have accumulated atropy. This is about highly trained athletes. Gabish? — PolitiTweet.org
