Here's the chart from the
other thread -

What you got to remember is that it was far less common for the older generation to have gone to university, with fewer places available. It was only in the 90s that university attendance took off.
Many people that went to school in the 60s left when they were 15 or 16.
So obviously if older people support a certain position then that position will also be supported by a demographic with fewer or lower qualifications.
It doesn't mean they are less intelligent though. I don't think it is helping the remain case when an argument like that gets made.
