I agree - and yes like most things its about balance - the difficulty is that when the balance is wrong in the first place you have to put a bigger effort in to initially work towards having a balance (like on a seesaw!) - I think sometimes though people lose sight of seeking balance and go for an all or nothing approach.

I think you're right though to try and shift the argument away from purely age considerations and instead value what people can offer and that their age shouldn't discrimate from them being able to make that offer.
