Agree totally with your second sentence and I imagine what follows is you ‘just joshing’, but...in case it isn’t, I disagree.
It is perfectly possible for individuals to have ‘delivered something’ in their areas of expertise at a much earlier age than you suggest.
Many in the areas of science, medicine, industry and education etc might have thirty years experience by their early fifties so no need for them to be ancient.
Age and wisdom are not synonymous. What matters is that they’re actually appointed because of what they know...not who they know.
