Test your hypothesis. If it’s valid, you can make observations about people and from those you will be able to reliably predict their birthdate. Publish your results.

“Yes, we keep setting fires in the attic and flooding the basement. We don’t know how to stop that from happening. However, ignoring that, Carl, we are pretty sure we can figure out how to build a skyscraper across the street. And hey, if we screw it up, it’ll be across the street, not in the attic or the basement, which are still on fire and flooded. We might even figure out how to fix those by working on the skyscraper, maybe, you don’t know.”

Some people live in a lovely old rambling mansion with a busted HVAC system stuck on full blast sometimes, fires breaking out in the northwest and west wings all the time, and rising damp from a basement full of water seven feet deep and rising, but they think they should start building a new skyscraper on the empty lot across the street.

It’s “zed” because Brits know that it came from “zeta,” which has no “d” in it. That’s also why they don’t say “ay bee see dee eee eff jee”, they say “al bed cam del epp dye gam.”

You want somebody to prove that Russia doesn’t have the capacity to produce their own ball bearings? May I direct you to the article?

For what it’s worth, the classification “category 1” carcinogen does not indicate severity or level of risk. Everything that is carcinogenic is in category 1. If something is “maybe carcinogenic, unsure”, it’s category 2. Plutonium is in category 1, but so are alcoholic beverages and birth control pills.
