Why does everyone seem to have a problem with the exceptions who live past 120, but not with the vast majority who don’t reach 120? Isn’t that equally problematic according to the 120 yr “myth”.
IMHO 120 is used to represent a complete life, since Moshe Rabbenu came as close to being perfect as a mortal can, and died not from illness or weakness but because his tafkid was complete, hence the bracha of living as long as Moshe R’.
