They may be getting extra data, but it's what they DO with that data that matters.
Climate change and politics is enough to prove that experience alone counts for squat. :)

Which is why there are entire industries dedicated to making sure that the talking points they parroting don't inconvenience the political and financial interests of the stockholder class.
The myth that democracy and policy appear by magic out of a nation of proud independent thinkers who rationally weigh evidence on the basis of information, logic, and a solid liberal education is absolute nonsense. That's simply not how it works - and the media (and ad) industries know this. So does the political class.
They also know that it's important to maintain the illusion, because people are far more likely to argue - and vote - passionately from a position of pliably expedient ignorance if they believe they're sovereign sages, than if they understand that they've been conned and lied to.
The same applies to corporate culture. Every culture has its convenient mythologies and its hard reality. In some cultures the two are observably close, in others they might as well be on different planets.
But it's important to create and propagate a mythology so that everyone at least knows what they're supposed to be believe.
These narratives are usually unconscious, but they reliably shape actual behaviour far more than any rational assessment of reality does.
Millennials were children at the time.

Less common, but still happens, is companies having a role that delivers that ground hog day of the first year. Possibly more common in support than dev, but still exists and not exactly rare.
So experience alone counts for little. It's what was gained from that experience that matters. :)
> The first chart suggested to the USDA by nutritional experts in 1992 featured fruits and vegetables as the biggest group, not breads. This chart was overturned at the hand of special interests in the grain, meat, and dairy industries, all of which are heavily subsidized by the USDA.
Calling this the recommendation of the “scientific community” is ridiculous.
FWIW, I am not a climate change denier.
Edited: removed something that unintentionally sounded like an insult.
I actually think you're just reflecting the currently vogue "common sense" view of carbs as the worst macronutrient. Neither this view, nor the view which produced the original food pyramid, is accurate. But saying the food pyramid has "killed literally millions" is incredibly hyperbolic. Starvation has killed literally millions. Cereals on the other hand, have literally been the most common dietary staples of most human diets for most of post-agricultural history.
