Yes, and why do the young Hobbits, Merry and Pippin, behave often childishly in LotR when they were well past 21 (in fact, Merry was 36 at the start of the story). And why did folks like Elrond suggest they were too young for the Fellowship?

Yet Otho and Lobelia were old farts at 21?

Anachronistic and asynchronous simultaneously if you ask me.
