I'm an older person. Properly. :D
I'm impressed by Pagey's mature attitude and objectivity. I know many older people who have failed to develop such a mature attitude. Age is no guarantee of maturity.
It's not even a guarantee of experience; I just watched a documentary about 40 year old virgins. Thankfully I'm not one

But it demonstrates that you can't judge someone purely on their age.
You can reasonably assume that an older person is
more likely to have had more experience, and
more likely to have a mature attitude. But it's not
much more likely, IMO. A fair bit, but not enough to make it a safe bet.
Generalising is always about probabilities, and probabilities are fucking tricky.
That's all I've got to say! (for the moment anyway)
