It might be unthinkable to someone in the future that we could experience the universe meaningfully in 100 years.
I tend to see human-lifespan rationalizations as simple fatalism. It's okay to think you'd get bored after a million years, but dooming every living human to die because you'd be bored is kind of insane if you think about it.

Your perspective would probably change drastically in your third century or millenia. It makes conjecture like this as good as worthless because as mortals we do not have the ability to see it from another perspective.
