I have yet to see any compelling argument against re-tests for everyone with more frequent appraisals for those over a certain age. I'm pretty sure someone would try to accuse that of being 'ageism' but political correctness cannot change the way the human body (and mind) changes over time.

No need to get defensive - I'm pretty sure you're aware that reaction times at 60 are not the same as at 18.
