If someone uses the "i-word" when you simply talk about living longer than a hundred or so, I recommend rolling up a newspaper, swatting them on the nose once with it, and repeating "No" several times, clearly and firmly.

The fault is all mine on that point - sloppy vocabulary. Let it be noted that I repent of the imprecise usage.

And, in fact, that may be part of the fallacious argument bits of my mind have against living; "Aaaah, it could be forever and that will be awful!" Bad brains.
