Yes but that doesn't mean any 25 year old must be wiser than any other 18 year old. This means those 18 year olds who are smarter than the average 18 year old will be disadvantaged.

I can relate to a lot of the points the article makes. When I was 14 I knew just as much as I know know in certain areas but I was never taken seriously because I was 'just a kid'.

On the flip side, it means an equally applied 25 year old will be just that much wiser than the 18 year old.
