I think you are.

You have to know the number to verify, you can't go through life assuming based on Fuzzy-Wuzzy non-practical applications.

The number represents a data point and that data point cannot be verified to be 100% accurate.

If the number is not 100% accurate then a reconciliation could cause the number to increase, thus proving your claim incorrect.

I think you are having a hard time grasping the fact that when applied, your observation falls short. It's okay to be wrong, you just need to revise.

The "correct" number of people older than you never increases.

The problem becomes what is the correct number? I would argue it can never be known as the null hypothesis is unfalsifiable with current methods.

Census data would be the source for this data and needs to be corrected all of the time.
