The delusion that age doesn't matter... Oh well, I think age does matter in decision making, as experience, the time needed to learn, to commit mistakes, does infact influence our decisions. I am not saying that young people can't be more intelligent than older people, but experience is also a factor. I am not ashamed to acknowledge that I made infantile errors in my youth, not due to lack of intelligence, but due to the arrogance of thinking I knew all and assumed that old people were overdue. I still make grievous mistakes, but at least recognize my fallibilities. Food for though, food for though.
It is true that some people have prejudices and take advantage of younger ones by claiming to be older, that can never be an argument, as is a non sequitur, but the oposite stands equal as you cannot dismiss an argument from someone experienced in a certain subject because one invoked the age factor.
