You make a lot of decent points but I wouldn't say older players are ''not clever enough to make false tells''.... I often mix it up and sometimes make false tells which are sometimes believed and am still(perhaps due to MTT variance) a losing player.
It's not really about ''not being clever enough'' it's the fear of losing one's chips with a marginal hand. As for older players trying to give off a false weak tell with a strong hand, I have seen it several times every night I have played from all age groups including 40-100. Older players often know the value of money and fear it and respect it but when they have the nuts they often lose that fear
