And yet despite the naivety of their youth, his engineers still spoke out against his contraption and were fired. I don’t think an old man in the room would have helped.

I'm only aware of one engineer being fired for bringing up quality concerns. That is 49 year old David Lockridge. There are reports of a second former employee who had concerns but no details of their departure. I admit I do not have all the details so maybe there are more. But that's not really the point. The point is ageism weakens engineering organizations. That's not a condemnation of youth. Just an observation that the veterans still have something to contribute.
