> Happily, I have now grown up.

But you haven't grown up enough to avoid making appeals to authority in order to justify a moral high ground.

I remember when I was 20 and I believed that those that were older than me knew more than I did because they were grown ups. Then I learned knowing is hard work, lots of reading involved, and most people avoid the legwork and jump straight to the "I know better now that I'm a grown up" because few call them out on it.

Grow up.
