However, while his home run rates did increase at the same time as league rates did, he was also doing it at an age when you would expect him to be declining.

What age do you expect elite baseball to decline?

Really? Is it not commonly accepted that most players begin to decline after the age of 30? Obviously there are outliers and that has to be taken into account, but I think the general consensus is 30+.

Barry Bonds is massively better than "most players" only a handful of players in the past 30yrs can say they had a single year on the level that was normal for Bonds from 90-98, his average WARP3 during that stretch was 12.9

Absolutely. And then he got better.
