People and/or folks :)
Would you (several of you, starting from Milos) please, OH please stop playing with me in 'Straw man' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man) game!!!
But still there is no really reason to think think we don't have plenty youngsters able to write science and technology articles.
Did I say (or at least hint?) that there is no such youngsters???
It seems that it's high time to recollect backbone of arguing between me and Milos:
1) Milos said - let's focus our 'recruitment' only on people within 15-24 years age limits.
2) I objected that our effort should be limited by so tight limits, but I never (Never, NEVER) objected that people of 15-24 age are of significant interest to recruitment (better to say *evengelisation*) process.

Stewardship is (I'm simplifying) top level of adminship (sysopship). So if we have 16 year old addmin (sysop) so it 's not big surprise to see 19-year old steward.
... but what about articles on nuclear phisics or same scientific/technology topic written by 19 year old guy/lady? ... FA-grade articles if any?
Sure. The 19 has a reasonable chance of being at a university that means they have access to reliant journals and at least some free time.
... and let's discuss not exceptions but... mainstream.
Then why are you talking about FAs? The mainstream are not FAs.
But still there is no really reason to think think we don't have plenty youngsters able to write science and technology articles. While people keep pretty quiet about ages on en I've certainly run across people at university or younger who work in those areas.
