I think that is why it won.
It made me laugh, it's not silly per se but the idea that such an esteemed title as blue zone was earned through pension fraud is hilarious.
The more schadenfreude version is that the idea of these blue zones has been trotted out ad nauseum by longevity nuts for at least a decade and now they look like fools.
I know, that whole thing about Mediterranean diet and Japanese diet could just be based on pension fraud and bad record keeping
