The comment thread that was moved was not off topic though.

Please don't blindly attribute disagreement to unscrupulous motives. It's disrespectful and destroys dialogue. Not to mention that, for all we know, some people downvoted it because they consider it too low.

How much data do you think is required?

I have absolutely no idea.

Maybe people downvoted your post because you threw around a nice, round number without any reason or rationale.

The average lifespan is around 75 years, with some living over 100.

It's designed to track the entire lifespan of thousands of life's.

How is this a nice round number? Other than base ten.
