Too Old for the Emergency Exit?

Just a query. I have heard, from a good source, of a couple in America who paid extra for the better legroom in the emergency exit. (Don't know which airline). On boarding, they were told that they couldn't sit there because, being 70, they were too old. I've never come across this one before and it strikes me as a bit silly. I know many people over 70 who would be quite competent in seat 0A; equally I know people of 30 who I wouldn't want on an aeroplane unless they were handcuffed. Anyone know more about this?
