I laughed at the idea that until 25 our ability to think rationally, plan or exibit self-control is limited.
Think of Pitt the Younger. MP at 21, Chancellor at 23 and PM at 24, after being offerred the position 3 times previously and declining.
Which seems to me to show an element of planning and self-control many current older politicians lack!
Indeed. And in my experience, those who are most keen to refer to 'immature' brains are also the ones most likely to say "Back in MY day..." before describing some ridiculously exaggerated feat of personal independence as a 7 year old
