He might have, I don't know.

True story: When I was in grammar school in the (pre-multimedia) 1950's, the telephone company would come around with a series of educational films, and the whole school would convene to watch them. One was called Our Mr. Sun.

During the Q&A after the movie, a little girl from one of the earlier grades asked, "Did they say the Sun would burn out in 3 billion years or 3 million years?"

The rep answered, "Three billion years."

The girl showed relief and answered, "Oh, good."
