"The Standard" hotel was an obvious "poetic clue" I thought.
Being a semi-numberfag, I found that combined with digits compelling enough to quickly throw that crappy graphic together at the time (more un-noted numeric "coincidences")…I think I recall their official ages to only be 3 years apart, which I thought looked off, but perhaps plausible. Michael age 14ish at most and Schiff age 17ish at youngest?
