Well that is plain silliness! Of course Q should be older. That is the image of Q: The older genius mechanical engineer/tinkerer. If Q were to turn up as a young guy it not work. Desmond Llewelyn was much older that Sean Connery (and the others) and always looked like a cranky engineer (i.e., an engineer with 3-in-1 oil in his coffee).
