Not surprising. Young car drivers have better coordination and motor skills
than older drivers but take a look at the accident rates for young versus
older drivers. It's not through some fluke that teenage drivers pay a much
higher insurance rate than mature drivers.

Remember the old story about the young bull and the old bull looking down
the hill at a herd of cows? The young bull says "Let's run down the hill
and screw a cow". The old bull says "Let's WALK down the hill and screw
them all"! The exuberance of youth sometimes gets in the way of wisdom.

Yup, those young pilots are bigger than me, better looking than me,
faster than me, stronger than me, scan better, have better vision,
better hearing, and multi task faster/better...
So, why are they the ones getting caught in weather, having icing
emergencies, skidding off taxiways, running out of fuel, crashing
their jet on final approach, busting the ADIZ, punching the DC TFR,
crashing into the ocean on a calm night, hitting apartment buildings,
and generally giving GA a bad name?

Because the difference between them and you in the characteristics you
describe as being to their advantage is small to nonexistent, whereas the
differences in experience are very large.
