Cellar as a sociology experiment

Of course not, it would prove your point. :-) Stiil, I'm surprised you're willing to bait them at that level...looks like a prima-facie case of old-fartism to me.

The core belief of young adulthood for some is: having escaped from the clutches of childhood, one is finally free to act upon one's hard-won complete understanding of Life, the Universe and Everything. Since the lives of your elders are comprehensible at a glance, clearly nothing lies ahead that will deepen or sharpen your understanding of What's Important or How Things Work.

Any suggestion that there might be things yet to be learned must be a result of elitist oppression by the Grups. Furthermore, things are always "so different now" that there can be no important commonality of experience with previous generations.

And it was exactly that way thirty years ago, too. :-)
