By definition a 23 year old can’t have 25 years of experience in anything, even tying shoes. They can’t legally have worked full time in the United States for more than 7 years. Unless they are a wild outlier, they can’t have an advanced degree and significant years of professional experience doing anything. You kinda have a point but sensitivity to age discrimination towards the young in this sort of statement is a bit of a stretch imo. It’s also shorthand for absolute realities of time and space. Edit: Age discrimination also isn't perfectly symmetrical because: If you’re young, you will very likely get to be old one day. If you are old, you never get to be young again.
