@mhoye There is (or at least was) an ongoing dispute about the details of the data handling and corrections, and I'm always a little cautious about accepting the results of a single analysis. Some nerdy stats flame wars:

https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2024/09/13/supercentenarian-superfraud-update/
Needs an independent analysis.

Pretty incredible argument there over the preprint, unfortunately for bystanders it means a much deeper dive is required to figure out which claims and counter claims have merit.
It's messy, but it is also how science is supposed to work.
