To all those kiddies out there that think anything over 45 is ancient, a 50 or 60 year old can perform at the same level officiating-wise as a 35 year old. The big difference is how long they can sustain the level of activity (certainly long enough for a football game) and the recovery time needed between games.
Obviously there are tremendous differences between individuals.

If there are tremendous differences among individuals, why think that everyone should "think about" retiring at 65? That will be too old for some and too young for others.
Who cares what the average age is? How would that provide any guidance for anyone making this decision?
