Which is not at all what we're talking about here since the original comment talks about people with one or two years of experience.

It’s was an exaggeration, but the point still stands. Two years experience is “just graduated” into the workforce. The lifespan of a worker is 30+ years.

I think there’s also something important about that period where you’re moving from only doing what other people instruct you to do towards making decisions and supporting them over time.
