I'm sorry, do we have any evidence that young people work longer? I don't discount that it happens in certain fields, such as finance, but that is forced on them by the system.
Or any evidence that age = worse code?
And, can we see the data for homogeneity? Not anecdotes, data.
edit: recall Woz and Apple. Woz was a briliant designer, who mostly hung out with people like himself. He admits he never could have started or run Apple. Yes, this is an anecdote too. But I suggest thinking about whether 'friction' has value or not. I suggest it does.
