Stylebook again

People who are "rapidly aging":

Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings
Dorian Gray when his portrait is destroyed
The twin brother of a spaceman travelling at 99% of the speed of light, from the spaceman's frame of reference.

People who are not "rapidly aging":

The population of Europe
The population of Japan

Every hack writer on demographics commits this solecism, but that doesn't make it OK.
