Please show me any other 74 year old man who is definitively at the top of their game. I’ll wait. Hell, I’m in my fifties and would never try to claim such nonsense.

That's the point. People past a certain age shouldn't be allowed into positions of responsibility (or to operate heavy or dangerous machinery, like cars).

Or, at the very least, they should have to pass regular competency tests.
