The date header will tell you. But it was yesterday.

Actually that is even explicit in the Elisp:

    (days-from-date "1964-07-26" "2021-03-22") ; 20693

I can make the zsh explicit as well since the second argument
is optional (and defaults to today, i.e. that was yesterday
yesterday, when it was invoked)

But OK let's do it again explicitly explicitly this time:

  time-from 1964-07-26 2021-03-22
  56y 7m 24d 0h 0min 0s (20693 days)

So it is still the same, 20 693 days.

Not even by 3 days :)

No, Sandra is 20 693 days, two methods show the same result.
Unless they use the same source, that counts as a theoretical
proof in the math university world.
