Ok, but what is the histogram on that? The point wasn't "someone young can't possibly do X" but a combination of "it seems strange that we have an industry built almost entirely of young people" and "somehow this industry believes old people can't do things". Maybe there is a good reason for this, but it is certainly strange: it is like we actively don't want experience that I would have thought should count for a lot (in architecture and planning) while demanding sometimes impossible amounts of experience in things that I'd think wouldn't matter at all (using the new, shiny framework or programming language that those truly experienced people are probably avoiding anyway unless it really really offered something they hadn't seen in their decades of development).

We're finally getting to the point where there's not much "new" each year or decade, so it's starting to slow down again.
