Only bottom 10% shortest-lived strains benefit from caloric restriction

A possible way to interpret it is that maybe some of individuals in the bottom quantile on the longevity scale are living short lives because there's somehow sensitive to the caloric intake. They need the restriction to live longer. Those were not sensitive to not benefit from the restriction, and also tend not to be found in that low quantile.
