for many knowledge-work professions today, particular software engineering, there's a rather steep discount curve applied to one's experience.
Software Development comes down to a whole lot of cost/benefit tradeoffs. A project can accumulate tens of thousands of those. The valuable sort of experience in software actually comes in the form of well generalized cost/benefit decision making heuristics. There are also poorly formulated cost/benefit heuristics which can prevent the creation of value. (The worst of these, being unfounded bias.)
I think a big part of the problem, is that those who don't have such experience aren't in a good position to evaluate how good or bad someone's heuristics are. There is a tendency in situations like that for people to fall back on their own biases.
