Well, allow me to be more precise then: it is most certainly not
the case that all young people are immature and incompletely
formed, many young people never cease to startle you with
their precocity -- but on the other hand it is true that
the a large fraction of the larvally immature are young.
I mean, if someone on the net calls you a poo-poo face, what
would your guess be? Brian is pretty much competing in that
category.
