There is a kind of age-related cognitive decay that’s like needing reading glasses. Thoughts lose precision the way fields of view blur. You have to hold ideas at arms length to process them, but then you lose resolution and can’t process small font size (intricate logic)

Hmmmm this reminds me of the old conventional wisdom that mathematicians peak in their 20's. Andrew Wiles and many other disprove that though? I see it more as switching to reasoning by analogy -- comparison, metaphor etc. -- rather analytical parts

It's not conventional wisdom, it's statistics :) Exceptions like Wiles are rare.

Nice analogy. You'll see this in high level chess matches where youthful inexperience will rely on guts to try to confuse the older more experienced player who holds the principle much better and is often able to cut through and win.
