If you aren't coding at 13, then you won't be able to start a company (coding) at 23. That's the point he was and still is trying to make. You, on the other hand, are trying to make an entirely different point, which appears to be that PG said something 'damning'. The only PEOPLE he's discouraging from doing startups are people who haven't been hacking for 10 some-odd years before ASKING FOR HIS MONEY AND DOING A STARTUP WITH IT. It's not his job to get (more) 13 year old girls up and hacking. He is but one person, after all.
FWIW, whatever point you are trying to make was lost the second you started 'literally quoting' PG in your post. As it turns out, changing a few words here and there and putting emphasis where it suits your agenda happens to be an egregious misstep in having empathy for someone's position and being heard yourself. Makes me sorta sad to see this behavior continue well after it's been explained thoroughly.

Your choice though.
