Total hogwash. Domain age has nothing to do with how well you rank. The reason that older domains rank higher for certain keyword phrases is that they have had more time to accumulate inbound targeted text links.

Actually, what is important is credibility. Credibility can only be acquired over time. A web site that is well optimized and using ethical SEO strategies can acquire credibility rather quickly whereas a link building schemer needs much more time. Over time the cheater catches up but by then the ethical strategy is SERP levels ahead.
