I believe you are though. Correlation does not imply causation.

So on that note, asking what physical age people are to judge their merit based on the belief that physical age implies experience is false. Age would be a more reliable measurement of experience if on average most people of high age were more experienced but that is mostly not true. Take into consideration the fact the those who are old, experienced much more of the past and are less likely to be able to grasp present technologies than many youngsters.

For example, I know of many people, aged 38 and older, that are computer illiterate. They are simply incapable of learning how to use a computer at all. On the other hand I have met CHILDREN of ages around 6, 7, 8, ect that blow me out of the water when it comes to knowledge of technology. It seems more common that older people are less adaptable, more concrete in their ways, and actually less experienced in current times. Look at music... most people only relate to music of their generation. (I believe there to be a relative correlation)

Experience also does not imply knowledge. My father has taken more LSD, mushrooms, ect than the average person. Yet I am constantly "trying" to correct his misinformation, yet he doesnt fully absorb it and sticks to his beliefs despite his "great" experience in the matter. I know personal experience isn't reliable information to build my case, mainly used to build my perspective of what I'm trying to say.
