I look at it this way.
Many people in the trades, let's say contractor-builder for example, are experienced, but that does not make them necessarily good. Anyone that has contracted or bought a new house can validate that all builders, even with the same experience are not equal, i.e. good.
One can be experienced, but not good, whereas, you cannot be good without being experienced.
Now, I don't care how "good" someone thinks they are with only a few years under their belt. It takes time AND experience to become good. Officiating is like many other professions where experience is needed. The more you work, the more you see and experience. A younger official might be good (good mechanics, good movement) but what is missing are the years of experience. They can't possibly have seen as much as the more experienced, and that IMO is the missing ingredient.
Like I said, you can be experienced and not be good, but you cannot be good and not experienced.
