    The response is wrong. I remember reading an article that disproved it and explained the actual reason. However I forgot the actual reason.

      COBOL doesn’t have a date type. And there were “people” in that “list” that weren’t just 150 years old, and they varied in ages.

      The real answer is that the list that they’re saying is people getting social security, isn’t the list of people getting paid, just lists of random ages in the database, which ultimately means nothing.
