There's a passage in the book of Job that says:
Do you agree with the passage? Do you agree with the summary?
Job 32:9-22 The wise are not the aged, nor do the elders understand judgement. 10 Therefore, I will speak. Listen to me, and so I will show you my wisdom. 11 For I have endured your words; I have paid attention to your deliberations, while you were being argumentative with words. 12 And as long as I supposed that you were saying something, I considered; but now I see that there is none of you that is able to argue with Job and to respond to his words. 13 So that you will not say, "We have found wisdom," God has thrown him down, not man. 14 He has said nothing to me, and I will not respond to him according to your words. 15 Then they were filled with dread, and so they no longer responded, and they withdrew from their speech making. 16 Therefore, because I have waited and they have not been speaking, for they stood firm and did not respond at all, 17 I also will answer in my turn, and I will reveal my knowledge. 18 For I am full of words, and the feeling in my gut inspires me. 19 Yes, my stomach is like fermenting wine without a vent, which bursts the new containers. 20 I should speak, but I will also breathe a little; I will open my lips, and I will answer. 21 I will not esteem the reputation of a man, and I will not equate God with man. 22 For I do not know how long I will continue, and whether, after a while, my Maker might take me away.
One might summarise this by saying "There's no fool like an old fool"
