He's in his 30s, it's a bit disingenuous to call him 'kid'. Being young has nothing to do with this lapse of judgement.


I only saw a photo of him, I assumed he was young, I guessed wrong.

That said - I think youth and experience has everything to do with errors in judgement. It's why most CEO's are a lot older than the interns :)

I can see myself making that mistake at 24. Easily. And any one of my younger staff doing the same thing.


Ah yeah of course I agree with you that inexperience and mistakes are correlated, I was just saying in this case, youth is not an excuse.


It's my bad, your inference is correct, I misread :)
