I agree and disagree. This is where giving someone the initial benefit of the doubt comes in. Then, once their wisdom, or lack of, is proven, then you take it from there.
In society we once respected people's experience. Age meant experience, just in living life. I still extend this courtesy, and then make judgements from there. I have met some pretty childish senior citizens, but at least I gave them some courtesy prior to them exposing themselves. What have you got to lose? It's not a game with a scoreboard.
