Wait what? What did you just do? Did you just claim that most people above 40 are argumentative anti progress coders? Or did you claim that most people who are claiming age based discrimination are such? Either way, how can you back these statements?

I read that as "a lot of people making that claim have or have developed these other, primary traits that are disqualifying them".

They’re claiming the latter. Whether or not it’s true I don’t know.

As an old myself I can say anecdotally that nearly all of the interviewees we bring in who exhibit this behavior are graybeards like myself, but even then they’re a minority
