This is going to sound dumb, but why do you use the word senescence here rather than maturity? They both seem to mean the same thing. Does it have some specific business meaning, or is it just another way of saying the same thing?
- mkramlich 16y agoguess: biological meaning, not psychological. saying X has reached maturity means they were immature before. calling something/someone immature has an insulting quality to it. the other does not.
- apu 16y agoHmm, I was under the impression that senescence is a little bit degrading (= getting senile), but perhaps not...
- pg 16y agoSenescence implies decay.
- j_baker 16y agoI see. So a difference in connotation.
