Agreed, it doesn't strike me as very coherent. Coincidentally, I was thinking about this very subject the other day. What makes an adult? I think it's multi-dimensional - not just a few but perhaps dozens. All of us mature in various ways, and what we call our "flaws" are merely those dimensions which we have not yet matured to adulthood. For instance, I've always been a hard worker. I started working at my family's restaurant when I was 10, washing dishes. Along the "don't be lazy" dimension of the childhood/adulthood spectrum, I've been an adult since I was 10. But on the other hand, I still have a very hard time eating vegetables, and in that sense I'm still a child in a 38 year olds body.
