We all know the type of people OP is referring to. Pretending they do not exist does not really make anyone's life easier, especially when the discussion at hand is literally about trying to make their life easier by reducing the possibility of a mistake.

The people OP is talking about are ones who are not computer literate. Those people can be of any age. There's just no reason at all to related it to age.

With all due respect, if we were to plot age vs computer literacy, there would be a very high negative correlation.

Be that as it may, by jumping ahead, you miss out on the younger computer-illiterate, and alienate the older computer-literate.

There is zero benefit to over-generalizing that I can see, and it is very likely to lead to errors.
