I can't tell if you are arguing that no job requires learning lots of new things or that old people don't learn any slower than the young... Are you arguing on

I can't tell if you are arguing that no job requires learning lots of new things or that old people don't learn any slower than the young... Are you arguing one of those two things or have I misunderstood?

He's probably arguing against generalization. You know, "younger people learn faster than older people on average" might be true; but even if it is, it doesn't preclude "I learn faster than you even though I'm significantly older". Ideally, if you need fast learners, you should hire & test for learning speed, not proxies like age.
