Do you mean that there are seniors with a lack of experience? I believe yes I was also making that same point.
Ageism in the industry also encourages seniors to appear to be plugged in with the newest shiniest thing, so we kind of do it to ourselves with our hiring practices.
We need to divorce seniority from talent.
