Discriminate by age in 'What Endeavour'? Question is, IMO, too general. So I answered yes, because in _some_ cases it is reasonable. :)
Sale of alcohol?
Licensing for driving?
Licensing for sale of fire arms?
Conscription?
Cashing in on Social Security benefits?
Reporting of child delivery? (note: Here in Texas, it is state law that a physician report any child birth to a woman whose conception date (counting backwards from date of delivery) preceeds her 16th birthday. The state has ruled that such birth is pretty basic evidence, absent premature birth, of statutory rape. To say that some hospitals to not follow the law is to say that the Rio Grande is a river. :) )
I don't think your question is what Obi was getting at in his poll. My reading of his question was that it dealt with common assumptions regarding age and behavioral maturity.
