So 1% of the population, schooled in theories that can't be proven, scratch each others backs, while the other 99% shake their heads and follow their experience and traditions.

It makes sense since Jewish kids are considered men at 13 and other situations like that.
C'mon, Jewish boys become Jewish men at 13 because they were ready to procreate, umpteen thousand years ago, when the tradition was established.

How often have we seen teenagers, especially early teens, making totally irrational choices. Although this could be because they lead such sheltered lives, compared to 100 or more years ago.
Remember too, when a child reaches his/her maximum cognitive development, they are far from all equal.
