Yes, I think that, even with the kind of deductive logic that I'm using, I could do a much better job of managing than many managers I've met!
I was trying to make a serious point, though, albeit with a not-very-serious example. I would expect an average 50 year old pilot to have far more than double the hours of the average 25 year old pilot. But of course Biggles' example was deliberately over-simplified, and gets the point across perfectly adequately without pedants like you and me picking holes in it.
