Your Mom (Mum in English) is ill and needs an Operation, Do you?
Let a newly qualified Doctor (top of his class) who has read all the literature perform the operation?
or
Do you choose an experienced successful surgeon with 30 years performing said life-saving brain tumour removal?
Youth or Experience?
Ha ha! You almost got me. This is a Trick Question. If its your "Mum" then this is in the U.K. and thus you don't get to decide if you "mum" gets this operation. It is up to the Leftist Fascist Death Panels to decide if she gets it or not.....which it will be NOT....unless your "mum" is rich and or famous.
HA HA!!!!!!!!!!
Yer MUM is FURKED!!!!!!!!

I mean, this is a no-brainer. We'll assume the surgeon is also obviously someone qualified to be a doctor, plus he has 30+ years experience on top of the other guy.I'd go with the experienced man who saved lives for 30 years over someone with the potential to do so.

This is the correct answer, as medical books are greater than experience.
go, Dougie Howser, MD!
I would not choose Ellimist as his reading comprehension is shit and it wouldn't matter how many books that kid has read.
Performing a delicate procedure that requires the utmost precision would obviously be better done by somebody with many more years to practice that. The younger surgeon could carry out the surgery correctly, but it's 'better safe than sorry' with these things. And if the older surgeon has carried out many successful procedures before, then that demonstrates that he can apply the experience that he has gathered over the years. He's not a quack boasting with vague claims of 'experience' without having anything to back that up, but a true veteran in his area of expertise. And the type of steady-hands cognition involved here means genuine experience is going to reduce complications. Not that this same reasoning can be translated perfectly to other fields. Otherwise, we wouldn't have swathes of 'experienced' 70 year olds arguing man-made climate change as a hoax, or older chess players seeing their ratings stagnate despite consistent practice with age.

The OP is obviously rigged to compare a massive experience difference (zero vs. 30) to a far smaller aptitude one to validate Steve's obsession with his age, but trolling aside general intelligence is the best measurable predictor of job performance in almost every field when you're careful to correct for range restrictions, etc. Not enough to say the new graduate here would be better, but something that probably bothers Steve anyway. 🙂

1. Let a newly qualified Doctor (top of his class) who has read all the literature perform the operation.
2. Let an experienced surgeon with 30 years performing life-saving braid tumour removal, but he's known for having recently botched several operations and has visibly shaky hands due to old age.
Also, let's not forget to mention all doctors are basically required to be highly intelligent people with great memory, great logic skills, insane amount of knowledge and education. By definition, both doctors have undergone extremely difficult education and while their scores and encyclopedic knowledge may differ, they're still obviously within the same league lol.
These two guys are gonna be essentially the same league in education, knowledge access, intelligence and mental capabilities. The first may be top tier, the second bottom tier, but they're by definition the people of similarly high requirements for intelligence, mental durability and skill, but with a giant experience gap. It's not like the second is self-learned hobbyist from Kenya lmao.
This post misses the point of the other thread.
It's less, can a young guy debate well, and more do I really want to be told what my Vietnam experience was like by a kid that never served?
Should a man tell a woman he knows where she's coming from, because he studied about it? Can a white man ever know what it's like to be a black man?
Experiences matter.
