having spent a good part of my life with Greek relatives, I beg to differ.

Birthdays might not be accurate due to difficulties in registering births, civil wars and fascist coups (they burnt every record so that people from, for example, Macedonia had to take Greek names) but the difference from on paper age and actual age is on average a few months off (plus or minus, so they balance in the end).

They also care a lot about celebrating birthdays with very big family gatherings.

On other note: if we believe that somewhere they kept false records of births, what should make us believe that in other parts of the World they kept perfect records?

What should make us think that birth records in Azerbaijan, Colombia, Ohio or Fiji are more accurate?
