When I was in a teenager I worked in a bank doing data entry of bank account applications. A couple of years later I spent a LOT of time doing ETL and digging into older databases. So I have enough experience to be able to say this:

This example is clearly a data entry error - 2024 - 942 = 1982. Errors like this are super common, loads of people have the writing ability of toddlers with ADHD so you see a lot of mistakes around especially around these numbers: 0/8/9, 2/7, 4/9 and 1/7

"One listed director — at 942 years old — would have been born in the 11th century."
