You said that people who haven’t experienced childlessness in old age amuse you when they have opinions about childlessness in old age. I said you don’t have to jump out of a plane without a parachute to know the importance of a parachute.

In other words, you don’t have to experience tragedy in order to have an understanding of why it’s bad. And dying alone is tragedy.
