In Nooey's words, there's enough in the PF to justify a capsuleer acting as if he or she has an indefinite lifespan, as opposed to clinical immortality.

The difference is voluminous, but can still account for a lot of overconfidence.

Hell, look at 18-year-olds today. It's not unreasonable to think that the adolescent lack of a sense of mortality (thus leading to all sorts of risky behaviors) could include our favorite demigods.

Plus, I've always just sort of assumed that this whole thing stemmed from a rather transparent attempt just to shoehorn game mechanics into some semblance of congruity with the real world.
