  You're saying that crime leads to longevity? Big if true.

    I think the claim is more that if you provide financial support for X without solid record keeping to verify X, expect that you will get more self reported people in that description. Put differently, relying on self reporting for any sort of status from people is just not a reliable methodology.

    No, he is saying bad record keeping means misreporting identity has a bigger chance of happening.
