Is fraud a factor in remarkable age records?
Supercentenarian and so-called "remarkable" age records show patterns indicative of clerical errors and pension fraud, Saul Justin Newman, PhD, a University of Oxford, UK, professor writes in a report that is published, but not yet peer-reviewed (preprint).
