shasta,

I think two assumptions to this whole 10k people/day metric cause it to be inaccurate pseudoscience:

  1. It assumes people learn things at random times, causing the distribution to average over 30 years.
  2. It assumes everyone learns a thing by age 30. If you talk to anyone over 80 years old I guarantee they’ll tell you they don’t know everything.

It’s a sweet sentiment, but it bugs me how people keep quoting this like there’s any truth behind it.
