Sure. But we were speaking in the context of the 2017 year. The points he carried into 2017 were completely different to the points he carried into 2018, which changes the complexion of the discussion significantly. His age and the nature of the ranking system are less of a handicap when you take into account things like the end-of-season break.You said Federer wouldn't reach number 1 due to his age and the nature of the ranking system.
If the question in the OP had been "will Federer regain #1 before he retires" or "could Federer get back to #1 if he carries X points into 2018" then my answer would have been very different.
Shifting the goalposts because you were wrong is a lazy approach to a discussion.
