Note that despite how it reads in English, 'Created < "14 days ago"'
means tickets that were created _more_ than 14 days ago.  That is, it
is read as "Take the point in time 14 days ago; find tickets whose
creation date is less than (prior to) that point."

The connotation of the word "ago" in combination with less than /
greater than is often a point of confusion.
