Has he published the actuarial information? There can be many ways to interpret his statement. I was in life business, I helped design life products for employees. I know the games actuaries can play.
We should not be too anxious to believe something from someone who has an agenda to sell more insurance at higher prices.
Maybe he'll release his data in 75 years.
I will suggest, however, that statements from this CEO are very likely well supported, and quite critical to the success of his business. You should NOT pass them off lightly.
