I guess I just think that an age cap is just arbitrary. The age of two individuals doesn't have as much to do with their abilities as an official as does their physical health.
Dick Bavetta is 66 years old and I wouldn't want to run eight miles with him (as he does every day) -- I probably couldn't keep up and I am in decent shape.
On the flip side, there are some officials barely in their 40s that have trouble running in a high school game.
So, to me your age is not as important as all of the other factors. And I don't think it will be that effective against political power and cronyism -- you're going to have that regardless of how old the officials are!
