As a 66 year old, who just finished the Coursera machine learning course with a score of 750/700 on the programming assignments, and is currently ranked in the top 8% in the current Caltech online ML course, I think you're talking prejudiced and prejudicial BS.
Some people can't adapt to new ideas at any age, and some remain flexible, mentally and physically. My mother was mentally alert and engaged up until her death at 99, although her body was failing.
Many 22 year olds have lousy judgement compared to adults - I know that I did.

"Some people can't adapt to new ideas at any age," These are the people I'm talking about.
