    So we count age from birth. If we take two theoretical instances of conception which occur at the same time, but one is born a month premature, then we consider that one to be older than the 9-month gestation baby. I don't know where I'm going with this, but it is kind of weird, isn't it?

      @scribus I don't really see how it's weird. If they're born a month premature, they're a month older than babies that are born within the average window of time. Seems pretty regular to me.

      @scribus Yeah, interesting how we date people based on when they leave the womb but by that point they've already technically been aging. That's actually a really good observation, wow.

      @scribus It is as weird as two babies born on the same day but the conception occured on different days, far apart from eachother. The system is flawed but it is what we have to deal with. There is no good measure how mature a person is.
