Locking in insurability is one of the reasons people buy a large T10/20 policy at a younger age. Coupled with the fact that the premiums will be reduced due to a younger age.

An example would be someone being diagnosed with non life threatening cancer or having a heart attack and now that person is declined for a long period of time from get life insurance. We don't know when or if these things will happen.

The waiting game isn't a good one to play with insurance.
Sounds exactly like the response from an insurance sales person that makes commission on each policy.

I'm financially literate enough to assess the risks and benefits of my situation.

The insurer always wins in the long run, just like the house always wins in gambling.
