I had taken “young” in Trevor_Blake's comment to mean “in your twenties”.
Then I agree. I just didn't see that word used in your response, so I misunderstood it to be without time limits.
(By the way, most people seem to use the word "young" meaning "age <= my_age" or later "age < my_age". Just ask a teenager whether twenties is young or old. Then ask a 50 years old person whether thirties were young or old. So an advice based on "while you are young" has very high potential to be misunderstood.)
(That was what the “for small n at least” part was for.)
