>The cases you mentioned are absolute outliers.
Just because they deviate from the average doesn't make them vanish. You are not "virtually guaranteed" as you put it. Think of it like a bell curve - if the average life expectancy is at the top of the curve, you're conveniently ignoring the entire area of the graph to the left of it. Those "premature" deaths still exist even if you choose to focus on the average.
