I hope this just means I'm late to the party, not that it's all downhill from here...

I think that's a problem with using the average age for everything. A bunch of people think their lives peaked in High School and a bunch of other people think it was in their late 20s/early 30s, which averages out to 23. But I suspect almost no one thinks the peak of their life was age 23. Median would be a more appropriate measure here.

I wonder how people who don’t have kids affect the average. Assuming they just get dropped?
