A guy at a jobsite in Tulsa told me "your generation can't even read a tape" and I almost proved him right

I was 24, holding a tape measure wrong in front of three guys twice my age, and one of them just laughed and said that line. Half of me wanted to argue that nobody ever taught us, and the other half knew he was right. Now I wonder which it is: did older guys hoard the skills, or did we just not bother to learn them? Where do you all land on that?
