Agree.

On the other hand, I don't think of my 10 years younger self as a moron, just naive. I don't think I've changed all that much, even, though sometimes I'd like to think I have. It's possible that part of the reason for the bias described in the study is that we overestimate the changes we've gone through in the last 10 years.
