He/she might have some talents or training the older person might not have, but time behind a firearm... not even close. People are delusional about specops teams. They get a lot of training, but it's not all firearms training. What makes them good is their teamwork, planning, controlling their emotions, and ability to adapt... not their proficiency with a firearm. Additionally, we're talking about driving, and a 21 year old is night and day from a 16-18 year old (the age group I specifically mentioned). Apples to oranges my friend.

But yes, when it comes to a skill like driving, experience trumps all. If you truly wish to nitpick, yes it matters what kind of experience for certain things. For example a 40 year old that has never been off roading will get stuck where a 20 year old that has been doing it since they were 16 will likely not. But without knowing anything about either of them, I'm statistically more safe riding with the 40 year old.

There really is no convincing you.... well it's okay because that's YOUR opinion. Again experience trumps age. Age is just a number, experience (especially the type of experience) is what really matters when it comes to anything.
