They probably know how to solve it technically, but they need management approval to do it and there are two managers currently in an internal feud over who has the highest authority and neither wants to admit to being the lowly one for such a trivial request.
Anyway, it's pretty clear you have some other reason than science behind not accepting you're in the wrong here. The Nature study with its very clear graphs should be enough when it comes to science papers and there are numerous neuroscientists quoted in the other links I've given. You seem to believe "Slate" becomes the source when they quote one, but that's not how sourcing works.
... yeah about that "sources" thing you mentioned. Those would not belong to "scientific consensus". Neuroscientists claiming there is no such consensus however are valid sources, papers showing something else than the claimed consensus do too.
for your claim that our brains are fully developed at 25
That's the opposite of my claim. The claim is that there's no such thing as "fully developed". Development is continous throughout our whole lives. There's no "line" at 25. You could just as well use 20 or 30. Or 5. Or 50.
I know better than the field of neuroscience
Your issue is that you believe that the field of neuroscience claims something it doesn't. You've been given plenty of sources with quotes from neuroscientists on exactly how that myth came to be.

Why do people insist otherwise2? Unclear. But it’s not based on any particular scientific study or claim. At best, it seems to be a corruption/misunderstanding of a few older studies into brain development, ones which mentioned, or only used subjects under the age of, 25.
... and those statements in that neuroscientist's "opinion" are linked to sources. If you click on those, you'll end up at this article which cites scholars and references the studies where people got this myth from:
Lots of western companies have divested from working with/in Russia even though it has cost them lots of money. Some because that's a legal requirement (sanctions), some because it's the right thing to do.
Ask your wife whether she thinks people should send money to Russia. Now, Yandex is politically twisting the truth in their search results, but I care less about that than the fact that I'll happily send money to Ukraine but there's no way in hell I'm sending money to Russia.
Being a Kagi subscriber means you are. Morally - I'm not ok with it. In some nations it might even be against the law. Sanctions, you know. I'm not even sure Kagi is legally in the clear here.
They specifically avoid sanctions by routing payments through Kazakhstan, and tried to claim Yandex wasn't even a russian company when called out.
And no, the US is not the same. You might not have hosted Ukrainian refugees or be in full understanding of what's happening there but any money going into Russia is right now used for torture, rape and killing of Ukrainians.
I had a Kagi family subscription and immediately cancelled when I learnt about Vlad's "it's just some geopolitical opinions" stance. I also know others have done the same.
Well, anchoring works even when totally unreasonable. Never let the employer say the first number.
Another example of how the anchoring bias can influence monetary decisions is within salary negotiations. If you are negotiating a salary and your boss begins with an initial salary that is low after negotiating, you might be more likely to accept a lower salary than you would have if your boss had begun with a higher initial salary.
