No, I'm saying that this maximum age thing is evidence against infinite age of a static universe. There are no white dwarfs that have been cooling off for more than 13 billion years, but there should be if the universe is much older than that.
Concerning the quasars, you're right. I have discounted Arp's ideas.
Do you have something to say about the era of peak star formation or the shape of z > 5 galaxies?
