It seems this article and others in this genre are lacking quantitative data. It seems pretty easy to gather data on showing people pictures and having them guess a person's age. Effect of heavy smokers, sun/sunscreen use, etc could all be quantified. I feel like the viral posts on this could easily be cherry-picked examples.
- asdfman123 3y agoIt's just not that kind of article. They're not trying to make a rock solid formal argument, just discussing factors that may contribute to an effect.
- drewcoo 3y ago> the viral posts on this could easily be cherry-picked examples Quite clearly so. The pics are of actors in costume and makeup - obviously not chosen as typical photos of those people in real life at the time. They are wearing period clothing to "age" them (Wallace Shawn looked younger in The Princess Bride 6 years later). Not to mention that the photos are terrible quality.
