From a brief glance, the protagonist here is white, male, a philosopher and a Michael. To attribute something you don't like about his statement to his age (as opposed to his race, gender, philosopheritude or Michaelness) is a statement about yourself (and possibly your idée fixe).
It has little to do with the piece or person you're commenting on.

- lazyasciiart 8y agoIt's a randomly chosen characteristic that may or may not have any causal relationship to what the commenter didn't like about him. Just like age.
