I think the point is just that the little bit of math is very easy if you're born in 2000.

Totally!

Thread OP, kinda like it's easier to do the math when trying to remember your age or the year something happened in reference to one another.

"I remember I was 12 when I got braces", so they know the year was 2012 when they got braces...

...which is easier than having to calculate:

I was born in 1993
so, 2000 - 1993 = 7
and, 12 - 7 = 5
2000 + 5 = 2005 is when they got braces.
