A good friend of mine was operating a cat and crane at 12 and could do the job just as well if not better than the union hacks that his dad was employing. He could dig a hole and sink a gas station fuel tank faster and with more precision than any of the rest of them with a crane and clamshell."Data" is not the plural form of "anecdote."
The vast majority of 12-year-olds are not capable of operating heavy equipment.

The vast majority of 12 year olds have not been taught or allowed to practice good manners, either - should we tolerate all ignorance or only that which offends us.

The vast majority of 12-year-olds are not capable of operating heavy equipment. Neither, for that matter are the vast majority of adults.
