I suppose the contrary argument would be that we have in some way become less emotional and less affected by major events like deaths and funerals. I am not saying that this is true, just that this idea that we walk out of a friend's funeral and are immediately conscious of the smell or snowflakes could give the idea that we are less emotionally involved. I think being strong and coping takes much longer and is a much more complicated affair.

But if we have learnt them before our 70s we had all these powers long before we reach 70 so there is nothing special about having them in our 70s
