You would make an amazing political speech writer.
I think this debate boils down to "acknowledging certain market realities" versus "creating market realities." If you advocate youth based startups, you have to define youth, which is entire subjective. "Youth" in this context probably just means "hasn't reached full creative potential."
Of course, people won't think that much. They'll see youth, think 25, then start evaluating the world from that viewpoint.
