That's not how life expectancy works. If the life expectancy for 2023 would be 300, it means people born in 2023 would live to 300 on average.

So we still have to wait another 300 years to know if they were correct or not.

Or just 70 ish years

No, life expectancy is calculated based on the average age at death in that year.
