It was a conditional statement, albeit a seemingly poorly constructed one.

"If you had a million records you were trying to filter..."

Would you not just replace "annotate" with "filter" and use the same 
DurationField() expression?

Nevertheless, in my case, I would use the annotation for a report that shows 
counts based on certain criteria.

Full stop right there. No one is filtering anything in the original use case, 
so you're comparing apples and oranges.
Filtering you would do in the database, but you'd still not use annotate, cause 
you can simply filter on the dob using standard __gte/__lte etc. lookups.
