In case of life-shortening diseases for which CR is a therapy you can
of course push it it farther. Or ordinary healthy people capable
of hitting 80+ years on autopilot CR offers only marginal cruise
assist.

My 10-30 years of maximum push by CR/healthy lifestyle were just
an educated guess. I'm glad that wasn't too far off.

The actual problem is that almost no one has the self-discipline
to make it happen. I cannot see me add more than 5-10 years to my
natural span without running into a serious asceticism control wall.
Giving up alcohol for good instead of just rationing it? A cold
day in hell.
