Maybe category logic? If you dont pattern-match the typical 50s, you are logically either probably MUCH younger, or MUCH older.
Some time ago was was in the heavybag room and two kids peaked in from the white belt kids class <9yo and shounted to me "give it all you have!" and the was referring to the bag... so i did, and their reaction was funny but amazingly abstract for their young age as they said "wooo... what momentum, wish i could do that". I was impressed by their intuitive undertanding of the physical concept of momentum, as that is not someone that one explicity speaks about in kids-white belt class.

My other halveās Burmese nephew lived with us from 16 years until University. When he first arrived from Burma, he said he couldnāt tell the difference between Western peopleās faces (prosopagnosia) and could only tell them apart if they had a marked age difference. This effect disappeared with continued exposure to Westerners at school . Heās now 28 and a trainee actuary in London!
The Swedish education system is clearly much better than the UKs! If you mentioned momentum to a < 9yo British kid they say āErrrrā¦like errrrā¦influencer/Game Boy/Andrew Titā
