I don't have any investment in the debate at all. No seniority number so no axe to grind. I just get a little tired of seeing the age competency/health argument used to support getting the old guys out to make room for the new. I believe it to be poor form to argue for one's own benefit using such tactics. It smacks of American politics!

If you wanted to boot guys out on a more objective basis like real time competency and cognition testing, you might have something. Then again, such objective measures might not eliminate the "right" people, so beware of what you wish for!

Anyway, good luck with your career. Go forth and sin no more.
