Jim's claim about Herod: Herod the Great wouldn't have cared about killing infant Jesus because life expectancy was ~35 years and he was already old and near death

Jim argues that the short life expectancy of the first century makes it implausible Herod would be threatened by an infant. Mike notes this argument is logically weak regardless of its factual accuracy — Herod was already beyond average life expectancy and still alive, so the short average doesn't affect his motivation.
