Yeah but he's not and never has been. How did so many people get it all wrong for all those centuries?

One knows everything that's important to know about what he spent his life doing. And is typically 55 years old at least.
The other was pretty motivated, pretty smart, and performed pretty well per the rules of the game he grew up in. And is 22 years old. His work ethic and hopefully skills at learning should serve him well in the future.
Apples to Oranges.
Acid test of success... which one would the hot young woman choose? A young ivy league grad is pretty attractive, but she still might go for the old guy if he has enough money
