Sorry, I just meant that in the scene where the fake FBI agents talk about Philip Jennings they say he's 39. Which is not the literal age of the real guy since Philip is a fake identity, but at the time that was taken as a sign of his actual age just as the death of his father at 6 was. Iirc, Elizabeth saying her father died at Stalingrad gave her an age that people felt was contradicted by what she said about her age later on.

I can't rule anything out or in either, but I was surprised that I found I actually cared about the issue for reasons I couldn't quite understand. But the thread made me think about it--I think I now have some ideas about why that was, but they're more about me than anything factual on the show.
