Now you are retreating into semantics :)

My original statement was that life expectancy in many countries is in the mid-80s. Which is, in fact, true.

If you want to split hairs about what constitutes “mid”, you can, but I doubt many people would agree with you that age 84 does not qualify as “mid-eighties”.
