IMO the 65+ are more entitle to the a vote than the 16-17 year olds as they for a kick off haven't contributed anything to society yet(Money wise) unlike the 65+ who will have paid tax all throughout theres.
Plus the 16-17 years aren't allowed to vote normally and won't be on the next general election, so it was Alex Salmond twisting it with the hope that it would pay off and that table above I'd love to the see the numbers of people actually asked on each age cat.

Where's the victory? The stats show that a huge majority (73%) of pensioners, most of whom had voted by post already and had been under the impression their pensions were at risk, delivered the vote for the three stooges, and the last minute begging and promises of devo max dented the clear advantage of Yes in the other age groups, although they would have still been enough to deliver Independence.
A bit of an indictment as to how democracy functions in this country really.
