I went back and looked and you're right, that paraphrasing doesn't appear in the NY times article that they're using as a source.
Also, the gawker article used as the source for the Buzz feed comments doesn't read as being about age at all.
Given the two strikes at the first two things I've looked at it just calls into credibility the whole article - which is a shame, as there probably a good conversation about age to be had.
- mkempe 12y agoThe original NYT quote is pretty easy to find. May 2013, Paul Graham: "The cutoff in investors’ heads is 32." [1] Still in denial mode?

- majc2 12y agoWell thats not what they linked to though is it. Suggesting I'm in denial mode is unhelpful - as I've already said there is a good conversation about age to be had.
- mkempe 12y agoIt's just factual. You're both denigrating the value of the linked article based on not knowing about Paul Graham's NYT quote. Even if there were no such specific, personally identifiable quote -- should we deny that there are v.high-level players in SV who indulge in and (apparently) support ageism?
