Altman’s “few thousand days”: no fixed date

Loose wording should remain loose when quoted in a calendar. This entry records the source and publication period rather than converting an indefinite phrase into a manufactured date.

Calling the phrase deliberately unfalsifiable would claim knowledge of the author’s intention. The narrower editorial point is enough: the wording does not support the exact deadline that the previous version displayed.
