What is your general opinion on the wisdom and decision-making of politicians and heads of state that are above the age of 80?

Anyone who is 81 or older is elderly, therefore they have a lot of wisdom, therefore their decisions are the best. My opinion completely aligns with this logic with no deviation.

> elderly, therefore they have a lot of wisdom

That’s a hell of an assumption, though maybe this is missing a ‘/s’?

Agreed. As a Frenchman, I can testify that the same logic allows anyone to take perfectly dreary 2022 Napa valley wine, and turn it to a beautiful 1942 Saint-Emilion. You just need to age it 80 years.
