...but even a dumb civil litigator like me can read the Social Security Administration's mortality tables.

Doesn't mean he has to die. *

And rising to a bit over 10% by 85.

Which is averaged over humanity and doesn't factor in good/bad things regarding genetics and things specific to the person.

Of course at a high level, it's more than I'm comfortable with, having a father the same age, but nowhere near "likely".
I agree in all respects.
