The rest of us are old enough to have seen ourselves and our relatives change in appearance as we all reach the age of infirmity. It goes faster with Alzheimer's.
Everything you are talking about is soft tissue, which can swell (edema, fat) and shrink (loss of fatty tissue). And even skeletal features can change (e.g., reduction in jawline due to osteoporosis). You make me wonder how old you are, that you have not seen this in people as they age.
But the earlobes cannot change from attached to detached and then back again. Also, aging people don't have an obvious edge to their rubber mask show up sometimes.
My earlobes have been attached my entire life, and I am older now. My ears have not moved at all in relation to my eyes, nose, or mouth. The only thing that sags is my neck, and that's because I have lost over 100 pounds. I still look like the same person now as 40 years ago. Biden doesn't look like he did just 10 years ago.
It does not occur to you that there are earlobes on the border between "attached" or "detached"? The part of the ear that is the subject of this condition is fatty tissue, not cartilage. It can wax or wane, depending on the subject's health. I have also read (here on this site) that facial surgery can result in such changes.
I recently attended my fraternity's annual reunion and spent the occasion at a table with someone I did not recognize, which was not too odd, since there were plenty of brothers in the house that came before me. Afterward, I was clued in on who it was. It was an upperclassman who was in the house when I pledged, and I knew him. Except that he had no resemblance at all to his former self. And some of my high school classmates would be unrecognizable at first glance, compared to their original appearance.
Very good that you have enduring appearance. I sure as hell don't look the same as 40 years ago. All you can prove by your case is that some people age well. Others don't. This is not an "apology," it is a fact of life.
You are making a big thing out of something that can be a small difference, without any close-up inspection.
From Boynton Plastic Surgery: "Earlobes change with age—like anything else, they can become droopy. ...An additional factor to consider in regard to earlobes is the changes that can occur after facelift surgery. It is so common to see changes to the earlobe that can be improved after facelift because some techniques will really drag the earlobe downward. Other times, the aging earlobe stands out on a patient that has had a facelift but the earlobes were ignored."
Never say "never," if you are not a plastic surgeon.

Look at he physical distances of the new Biden’s face. Distance from under the nose to the lips. Bottom of lips to chin.
Not even close to being the same. Those distances will not change that much due to dimentia.
My question is… when did the real Joe disappear during Obama’s second term?
The ears! The lobes are not attached in original Biden videos, yet attached with the current specimen. So obvious.

This apology sounds like leftist crap to me.

Yes we have… and I still call it like I see it:
THAT AINT JOE (he’s shot).
I guess you live by belief, but can't believe your eyes.
WTF are you talking about?
Put down the bong frog.
That's the 82-year-oild Biden, not the 20-year-old Biden. Where you come from, people don't visibly age?
I believe my eyes, and that isn't the same person on the right.
He has aged, and badly. This happens commonly when people are subject to Alzheimer's Disease.
But our earlobes never go back and forth several times between attached and detached.

I never said that the earlobes can't change. I said that they don't change back and forth more than once.
