Early in my career, one of the senior engineers in my group had a T-shirt that read:

    Old Age and Treachery Beats Youth and Enthusiasm, Every Time.
Looks like this guy tried the “treachery” part, before he had the “old age” part down.

Does the "old age" part give the ability to better cover tracks?

It can give you the experience to know how careful you need to be in doing that, if only because you've lived long enough to see many be scuppered because of their failure to do so well enough.
