Hmm I find the correlation plausible but I’m not sure I’m moved to act differently by it. I wouldn’t guess it’s a strong enough effect that all young people need this conversation or all older people don’t, so I’m still going to focus on what people say to judge whether they are making this mistake or not.
Also, to the extent that we’re worried that the illusion of consensus harms our credibility, that’s going to be more of a problem with older people, I expect.
