As long as we're not saying that older=smarter.
I'm just saying that the ability to acquire, and reason with, knowledge and vocabulary is important.
Anyways, most abilities begin to level off around adulthood. Abilities that require more immediate cognitive processing (speed, working-memory) tend to decrease with age more quickly than other abilities.

No issue with that.
After considering it for a moment, I realize that I may be somewhat 'allergic' to the suggestion of the Crystallized Intelligence piece because recently on here I got into an extended argument with (what I now realize was) a huge troll, who said that because of Crystallized Intelligence, much-older people are literally smarter than young adults, all else equal, even despite the physiological deterioration.
