It's like this scenerio: when an important client needs work done on saturday at 8pm at night, the boss isn't going to send a recent CS grad (or inexperienced papered warrior) to fix an established client's network. The boss will call in his most experienced team or shop leader. The same applies with $50,000 hardware. Common sense.
$50,000 hardware is easy to come by. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can admin it. That's the cheap stuff.
Don't be biased against age, I've been the "go to man" in plenty of BIG crisises with ENTERPRISE level hardware for long enough. Personal attacks aren't a good example of the logic you claim to be using.
