Nissim Kahlon

Question

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissim_Kahlon

Born 1946 or 1947

I find this interesting, how does one not know the exact birth year of a living man?
He built something that is a part of modern Israeli heritage, yes?
Will his real birth date ever be published?
Seems a little strange, looking at this from the outside in.

I must assume it is either his wishes being honored by those who seek the information, security purposes, or poor records keeping.
It matters not to me personally, but surely since he built https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermit_House

He will be remembered in full, not just his name, but his chronology as well, one would hope?
Perhaps it is not for man to know. As long as God knows the time of a man, then all is well, but are we robbing historians? Future generations? Obscuring precision?
Could this potential flaw be used against anyone?

If his birth year has a true answer, then should the truth not be shared?
At least the TRUTH, should exist, even if not shared.

By the application of Boolean Algebra, the statement on Wikipedia is true, regardless of which year, but when a scholar asks on a school trip, must the potential for a lie rest on the lips of the teacher?

    I am not sure that I understand exactly what you asking. If you are asking why the exact date of his birth is not known, I do not really know. Does that mean that there is anything untoward about the person or his existence? No. Nissim Kahlon definitely exists and he is actually a semi-celebrity in Israel.

    I do not understand what the reference to Boolean Algebra is.
