Tbh i have no idea how so many antis (especially anti-adult-age-gap ones, but not exclusively them) think life experience is something even remotely linear lol, like, it doesn't take much thought to realize otherwise
Life experience comes from novel events, and the more events you have already experienced, the less novel new events will be, so there will be less opportunities to gain experience
Something that can't be derived purely from reasoning though is *when* someone's rate of life experience gains becomes small enough to make age differences with older people not a big deal, but that *can* be derived sociolgically, and when it comes to youth, especially anthropologically
Current mainstream societies actively prevent those people from gaining experience, but not all societies do or did, and research about such societies (e.g., Johnston and Deisher's) makes it pretty clear people gain enough experience to know most of what they need somewhere in the later years of childhood (not adolescence, childhood), which really shouldn't be surprising to ontogeny folks lol, since that's far from unique to humans
