Lynn has been consistent in noting that longevity, the count of years, could be good or not so good, depending on the quality of life. It is relatively easy to number years but giving a number to their quality is much iffier. Seems understandable to me if an old person feels that the last years aren't so swell. Anything of importance to a human may be too subtle to be captured by a number or a "scale".
