I have a feeling I'll have been 42 for at least 50 years by the time I die

Knowing your age accurately is actually a relatively recent thing. In the past, many people only vaguely knew their birth years I suspect, based on anecdata interviews of old people. Knowing age used to be an an upper-class thing for people who could pay priests to track it.

I've identified as an old man my entire life, so this makes sense to me :D

The problem is judging people too heavily on age. Using the word "age" to mean "here is a lie that will make people treat me better" instead of "here is a precisely measured physical fact" is wasting good info.

Except except age is not a “precisely measured physical fact”. It is actually really hard to estimate directly. What we do is use elapsed clock time as a proxy. The precisely measured physical fact is the state of an atomic clock somewhere.
