    I remember reading that when national parks tried to make a ‘bear-proof’ trashcan, they found that there was a larger overlap between the smartest bear and the stupidest human to make a viable product.

    I feel like it’s a similar situation here. The smartest kid and the stupidest adult are far more similar than we’d like to admit.

      I think it’s more like: the maturest kids and the most immature adults.

      Funny, I came here to make the exact same analogy. I totally agree - a mature kid and an immature adult have a lot of overlap.
