Everywhere, stuff should have a knowledge or “maturity” test. People age and mature differently, they shouldn’t be limited due to arbitrary distinctions like an age.

Do… I need to point out why this is a dumb statement?
“She may be 10 but she passed the maturity test!”
“Yes officer, I’m nine, but I passed the maturity test so it’s fine that I’m smoking and drinking.”
Age isn’t a great indicator in all respects, but “maturity” is arbitrary and subjective, and makes no damn sense in so, so many instances.
