This was from one of my posts in which I said since I was over 80 I no longer 
had an age category. Questionnaires and surveys normally stop at 65 or 65+. I 
was pointing out that 80 is not the same as 65. No one will ever know what is 
characteristic of people aged 80, if they never ask for anything older than 65.

And similarly, being 65 is different than being 50, and 50 is just as different 
from 35.
