While I agree, it seems no one younger is stepping up to challenge the establishment. At the same time, many 80 year olds are no longer as old as they used to be in previous generations, just from personal experience. I'm not sure what the factors really are, probably some genetics and some lifestyle choices, but I've had 80 year old teachers that seemed like they had at least another decade of work in them.
