I can predict pretty well "Will person X die this year" by saying "No". Yeah, this number seems meaningless without more context.

  Unless the preson in question is over 102 years. IIRC that is roughly the age when mortality rates on average surpass 50% per year. Up until tha age you can celebrate your birthday and reasonably expect is more likely to still be alive by the next than not.
