Just as a fault check, 0.53 deaths per million hours of living implies a median life duration of 215 years by my napkin estimate? It makes me say "hmmm".


Instead, it should make you say "John has posted a typo."

The actual figure given in that reference is 1.53 deaths per million

That works out to about 75 years average life. It's pretty reasonable.
