Jiro's son is only allowed to make sushi after 30 years.

Yeah, but that's ego. You wouldn't be able to pick out Jiro's sushi in a blind taste test of many Tokyo sushi restaurants. If other people can replicate what you do, then the 30 years doesn't serve any actual purpose.
Jiro's son is only allowed to make sushi when Jiro is about to retire.
