For my 911, a bright young non specialist mechanic recently diagnosed and fixed a faulty suspension installation as a knocking noise that three older, experienced (and nationally renowned) air cooled techs had explained away as characteristic G50 rattle.
I guess I'm just disagreeing with your blanket statement on youth.

I can see this. I could see arrogance getting in the way of good judgement in this case, with "heck, I'm this old and I know everything" attitude.
I am the first to agree that age does not necessarily bring wisdom.
I believe I should have said that most young techs (in this case, maybe in their 20s) may not know what is going on with older cars (especially if they work at a current dealership which sells the latest aircooled variants).
I know some as well. Learning curves are different, but just because you are a Porsche Tech (whatever that means) doesn't mean you know the game no matter what the age.
