You're the one equating "old man" to "feeble-minded" or "out of touch". That implication wasn't there in the comment you responded to.

- datalopers 5y ago"pry it from an old man's hands" paints a very clear image without using explicit wording.
- User23 5y agoNo it doesn’t. An old man may well be less likely to want to spend a decade defending against litigation than a young one.
- dylan604 5y agoHow else am I to interpret the fact they stated the person's age in the title? I came to the comments specifically looking for discussion on why the person's age is relevant. To me, specifying the age like this is an attempt to pull at the heart strings of some poor defenseless senior citizen being victimized. It's just another example of an asshat corporation doing asshatery. Would the story be any different if it was a 59yo? 49yo? 39yo? No. Corp is an asshat in every example age offered.
