That's a cynical view. How about: people of every age and level of experience bring what they have to the discussion, and learn from one another. You could do that too, by gently adding your experience to the mix. Doing it without disaffecting your peers gives you extra points.

Its also 'static' to assert that people not like you are dumbheads. Not productive; not even right. You want a discussion, you pitch it at the level of the others in the discussion. There's a large spectrum, and always newbies coming to the arena (or the arena is dead).
