"college professor is older than their students, the age gap widens every year" is not a leap.
neither is noticing that difference age cohorts know different things, have different cultural reference points, interact with technologies differently, are pre-occupied with different things, etc

nah, assuming that individuals have individual experiences, and having a baseline that those experiences may not be generalizeable... is not "an enormous conclusion"
its like a basic, relatively conservative assumption/heuristic about good ways to understand the world
