When biologists talk about "aging", they are almost always referring to the process of senescence -- i.e. "growing old".

They are not referring to development, also called "growing up", which is what your lobsters keep doing until they're too big to moult.

They are also not referring to chronological age. The number of years an organism has been alive is technically irrelevant; what matters is the factors I outlined above, as well as whether or not their development ceases after a certain point (which is the case for humans, but not for lobsters).

I know plenty about this subject, thank you very much, and I quite probably know more than you do.
