TIL that even if you study longevity for 10+ years, you're never allowed to share anecdotes (or god forbid, close with a joke) ever again unless you're prepared to be crucified by twentysomething pseudo-experts in Silicon Valley.

I think this is how every expert in a non-CS/IT field feels about HN commentary on their field. 95% of what I read about aviation/aerospace here makes me cringe. It's like hearing my parents talk about computers, but with 10x more self-assurance.

    Seconded. Any posts having to deal with entertainment media have proven to have armchair experts all over them, and few if any voices of reason.

TIL if you're a twentysomething you're not allowed to have critical opinions.

It goes both ways.

    Qualitative difference between expert with years of experience and twentysomethings lacking any experience justifies it not working both ways.

      Are you seriously suggesting that as long as anyone has been working on something for years, that we should accept what he says without looking at it in a critical way? The enlightenment must have passed you by.
