Regrettably, that has to be done. The retirement age (65), originally, was
greater than the average life expectancy (63). To match the original
conditions, retirement should be raised to about 74.

I never have been able to figure out where that came from because I
haven't been able to find a stat even close to that. The life expectancy
AT 65 (LE65) is what is important anyway. In the 30s the LE65 was ~10
years. By 2007 it was up to 18.6 years. As it turns out you are right
about 74 being the equivalent.
