Why do people do this to me?

[cromagnon]

Every time my age is mentioned on this forum, it goes down a year

here is a great example of this.

This example is one of the more extreme cases. Two year inaccuracy.

@Copeful said I was 13. Completely incorrect. As most users know because of my infamy on this forum, I am 15 years old per a month ago.

In short, it is a form of social balancer, or unbalancer. It depends on the point of view

Kidding aside.
I did not write it for a couple of reasons:
- often I have poor battery life and go straight into burnout
- sometimes a little information is better than a lot
