From my research crystallized memory starts degrading past 40 and fluid intelligence in your early 20s. So if you’re looking for say a complex analysis of a cutting edge technology, some senior citizen may not be the best choice. I don’t think there’s a thing wrong with this, seniors don’t play on pro ball teams either.

I would still think of any knowledge which resides within a 60 year olds brain with the same interest I would view 60 year old code. There’s got to have been something going right for it to have been working for 60 years. Sometimes it’s going to be barely working, sometimes it will be working great, but there’s something to be learned.

I also don’t think wisdom is just what people say but also what they do.
