    Do… I need to point out why this is a dumb statement?

    “She may be 10 but she passed the maturity test!”

    “Yes officer, I’m nine, but I passed the maturity test so it’s fine that I’m smoking and drinking.”

    Age isn’t a great indicator in all respects, but “maturity” is arbitrary and subjective, and makes no damn sense in so, so many instances.
