sure, but there is no reason to believe that just because a civilization has been around 200,000 years, it will be more advanced than one that has been around for 100,000 years...

Thus time , in itself, isn't a very good measure of level of technological advancement.

It's the best we have and reasonably reliable....similar to measuring cosmological distances with standard candles.
