The reason it was 14 years was the time it took to distribute the work. It had nothing to do with lif expectancy. With that reasoning the time should be shorter today.

Also even if the life expectancy was 35 (which I seriously doubt) it is irrelevant since it is caused by death at very young age. So if people reached a certain age they survived to around our expected age.
