Talk:Jon Grissom

Year of birth
Removed his purported year of birth, as it was based on extrapolation as opposed to being stated as fact in a canon source. 2113 was arrived at by taking an event (i.e. the story of Mass Effect: Ascension) whose date is known (2183), at which time Grissom is apparently stated to be 70, and subtracting the age from the year. 2183 - 70 = 2113. The only problem with that method is that it is no reliable, nor is it always accurate. Perfect example involving me (what? I have a huge ego!): Were we to do the same thing here, subtracting my age from the current year, we would arrive at the conclusion that I was born in 1985. And we'd be wrong! So yeah, the fact that he was 70 when the events of Ascension occurred means nothing when deducing the year of his birth. He could have been born in late December, for all we know.
