False, this is your opinion, they were careful not to state what is, but what might be the case.

PS: As an aside, to be very pedantic, the word ageist is a subjective term, not objective. You can say that 2+2=4 is literally true, but can you fairly say that anything is literally ageist when that's subjective? Just something to noodle over about what that word even means.
Your respectfulness or lack thereof is almost totally irrelevant to if your post is ageist. I don’t see “ageism” as a very useful word anyways since my attempt to narrow the definition makes it painfully subjective.
It seems like most people would agree with your examples.
Do you view this sort of ageism filter as a useful tool for understanding the world? Does the word ageism automatically imply a negative connotation then?
