No it does not. Lobsters do not die from the effects of ageing. They die due to a lack of energy to keep moulting. Straight from the text.

"their expected remaining lifetime does not decrease with age." (emph REMAINING) implies that two lobsters, at 1 and 10 years, each have the same probability to live for some number X years in the future for some fixed X. This seems to me a certainly false statement, where you claim otherwise. Can you elaborate?
