In my experience, its more the older ones that "just don't care that much about winning an argument at work", because we've learned over time to choose our battles, and "the healthy art of not giving a s**" . Maybe come back in 10 yrs time and see if you still think this? ;)

Complaining about big egos then come back with that reply...interesting approach.
My experience says no. They just have huge egos because they think that age and seniority makes them smart, so they push hard for bad solutions, and nobody can argue with them because younger folks just don't care that much about winning an argument at work. From their point of view, they think they're saving the company from the incompetent ones.
I had such a guy at my first job, thankfully not directly in my team. In my current job I also have such a guy, unfortunately he works directly with me. I just make sure that there's papertrail to say that I showed my arguments why the old man's solution is wrong, so that when things fail, I'm not the one to blame.
