Left could pass as 50, right could pass as 13 yet they are both 34

I think what they mean is the picture is implying it's due to generational changes when you could find a younger looking 34 year old then and an older looking 34 year old now. It's a sample size of one. By definition that's argument from anecdote, there's no way you can infer generalities from that without being hasty.
