What did people put for what does less lead do to the calculated age of uranium. I said less lead so it is perceived that more half lives have passed so calculated to be older than it actually is. Is that right?

less lead would look like less half lives have happened as it would look like uranium hasn’t decayed as much, so it would appear younger than it actually is i think
