To put on my obnoxious skeptic hat, it sounds like you are analyzing how the historical conditions of people's upbringing affects each generations' behaviors and mannerisms. Just, with an astrological chart rather than with a calendar.

    I do not know how it sounds like that to you. Seems a strong non sequitur. Maybe I'm missing something. Care to elaborate how you made this leap?

    People who grew up around the same time and geography have the same historical pressures on what behaviors they learn. Obviously outcome varies a lot individual to individual, but it creates broad trends among large groups. Sorting chronologically brings those trends to the forefront.
