Experts with Dunning Kruger assume that novices are fully capable of operating at a much higher level than they actually can. This is why they are so abusive to novices. | |

There is nowhere in my answer about denying participation for age groups but how to handle different users, specially new users coming to the site that might find it difficult or confusing, which it IS a reason to study it and there is a correlation between age groups, skills and way of interacting on the site. | |
| Jul 31, 2016 at 21:07 | comment | added | Jacob Vlijm | As mentioned in my answer, in my experience, in being (un-)friendly, I don't see much difference between the sites. Also, on SO, simple questions can be asked as well, but practically all the simple questions you can think of are answered already. Finally, I don't really see the correlation between age groups and levels of skills, nor what you could (or should) do with that. I believe there is no reason (AU and SO), why both a 16- and a 65 year old user could not participate. | |
