Think about it logically - having good memories and exciting experiences from your childhood isn't as important as having those which can still be re-lived once you're an adult.
For example, let's say we're both 30+ year old boomers now, and while I spent my teenage formative years in a dimly lit room grinding for rank 14 on my paladin, you spend yours out with your friends, partying, having fun, experiencing the magic of teenage love and sex.
Now take into account that with Classic out, I can easily revisit the glorious days of yore, which is in fact all I'm doing these days, while you cannot really fuck prime teenage girls anymore given your advanced age and social contracts, such as marriage, parenthood and laws concerning the age of consent.
Therefore, one can only conclude that while I may have been down on the judges' scorecards a decade and a half ago, in the end I unquestionably win the story of the fight and that's what really matters.
