Experience is just what happens to your brain with more exposure to things. Time is a fundamental part of it, so it clearly must correlate with age.

If you’re going to argue that experience and age may be uncorrwlated then I have to conclude that you’re not making a sincere argument.

You need time to experience things but time alone is not enough. Not only it is possible to have an older person with less experience at any given task or job, there is also no correlation between wisdom and age either[0].

Of course you can find counterexamples. “Correlated” does not mean “every single instance follows this relation.”

Consider a more obvious example. It is possible, even easy, to find a pair of people such that the older person has spent less time living in France than the younger person. Despite this, time spent living in France is highly correlated with age.
