Yes.  Kigdatsi mechanisms work faster than human ones.  Much neuron 
turnover causes knowlege to be semi-permanent and not permanent. 
Therefore individuals reach a limit of ability at about 15 years.  And 
design of many systems is harder to be longer-lasting.  Therefore the 
optimal lifespan for individuals is about 30.  Body degrading means to 
sup****t a Kigdasti beyond that point is a net loss, and it is cheaper to 
replace than to repair.  Therefore death is induced at that point.  This 
is the opposite of the human ethic of maximising lifespan and ignoring 
profitability.
