You are assuming I'm wrong, you are right and you need to teach me something and I need to learn. It's incredibly messed up. Humility much? I disagree with you

I disagree with you. It's not a question of I need to understand. It's a question of I need to be convinced you are right, which I'm not, I know what you want to say with your math but it has not changed this.
You wanted to make me say that in your example, it's unlikely one will meet an old person with bad advice, and then that this advice won't matter too much anyway, but your numbers are made up and even if they were correct, this would still barely change my mind. So, yeah, I took a shortcut because whatever the result, this would change nothing. What's more, if you want to make a point, don't make me compute, especially if you already did the computation. I don't see the point of it. I'm not at school answering to a teacher.
Moreover, if your point is that following advice from old people doesn't change things much, then what's the point of arguing for listening to old people's advice and how does it change the fact that it's bad or good advice?
Take care too.
