“Man or woman” asks George in movie Phenomenon during the test scene when asked “how old is a person born in 1928”.

I understand the dead or alive and timezone part but don’t get his it matters if it’s man or women. Is it just bad writing?

The intent is to show that he’s frustrated by these pointless and trivial questions. He’d like to be given more information and be asked something more difficult.

It’s not that it has any bearing on the answer to the question. It’s that he doesn’t like conversation and wants to steer it elsewhere, ultimately leading to him demonstrating that these basic assessment questions are a waste of both their time.
