What’s the threshold for when someone is automatically wrong based on their age?
Kusimulkku@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
It depends on the subject. Generally you'd want some life experience or education on the subject.

Growing up I've just learned how to make things sound professional. "Independant research to contribute to peer education."

If I was in charge of an internet research dataset, I think I would grant anyone's request if the reason was to win an argument. Then again, maybe that's why I'm not in charge of an internet research dataset.
