Oh, hmm, I think this is just me messing up the differences between the U.S. and german education systems (I was 18 and 19 in high-school, and enrolled in college when I was 20).
I think the first quote on nanotechnology was actually written in 1996 originally (though was maybe updated in 1999). Which would put Eliezer at ~17 years old when he wrote that.
The second quote was I think written in more like 2000, which would put him more in the early college years, and I agree that it seems good to clarify that.

Thank you, this clarification makes sense to me!
