i dunno, i like your example of parents. my experience of that was definitely learning just how naive and unprepared for everything they were... i don't rate experience highly at all. quality of experience and what you learn from it is what adds value to that 'time served'. plenty of old men will still dance even though they have been terrible at it for 50 years. they have had a lot of practice, but they still suck. there are ample examples like this

I agree with what you say and I find it quite orthogonal to what I said :) You also gave an interesting example. Dancing is a specialized activity. Thus specialized talent and/or quality experience is required. But not all people go dancing. So I wouldn't quite include it in the set of common experiences that most people will go through in their lives.
