Should be symmetric though. You should be able to declare you're older than your chronological age too, in case you have premature aging symptoms, debilitating diseases, etc.
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.

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.
