I think Progeria supports my argument as much as yours.
A recent cover story in one of the newspapers I read had a picture of a 10-year old boy with the condition. He was bald, wore reading glasses, and generally looked much older than his age. But his face did not look middle-aged. Why didn’t it, if his internal processes (the increase in entropy, if you will) had already advanced to the point of a typical 60-year old?
Well, one possible reason is that he couldn’t possibly have spent 60 years in the sun in only 10 years.
