    Sure, you could do some wild overfitting. But why? What substantive theoretical model would such a data model correspond to?

    A more straightforward conclusion to draw would be that age is far from the only predictor of flexibility etc., but on the list nevertheless, and if you wanna rule out alternative explanations (or support them), you might have to go and do more observations that allow such arguments to be constructed.
