It would seem that way...but it would depend upon the kinds of people you come in contact with. If you only converse with reformed people and books, yes, it would seem vain. If you come into contact with people that bring up these exact kinds of questions and speculations, one should have an answer for them, yes?Should we avoid vain speculation? What is the purpose of such speculation?
A more specific question from another angle: Even if Jesus developed in memory, surely to forget something that was once remembered is a defect, is it not?
So, Jesus might not have remembered some things that he did not really have cognitive awareness of (as a little baby), because he was developmentally limited, but would Jesus forget a cousin's birthday?
Human perfection and human limitation seem to compete.
It would appear that forgetting something once remembered would be flaw. But this is precisley why I am exploring all of this.
Also, can we speak of Jesus as really "aging" because aging is the slow defeat of us under the power of death. It would appear that Jesus was offered up as the perfect sacrficie and therefore sometimes between the age of 30-33 is the ideal age of man and the utmost of his physical maturity (before the slow creaking decline towards the pit I guess).
Therefore, Jesus did not "age" but matured to perfection and was offered up at the height of that perfection.

Well, I began losing hair by my late twenties, if that counts for anything
I would say that his perfection has much more to do with his perfect obedience and his sinless life than with the state of his body, especially when taken in light of Isaiah 53:2.
Of course, Jesus being sinless would never have grown old would he have? He would not have "died naturally" because he was sinless and did not have original sin upon him....so he would have had the mind and body of a 30-33 year old forever, right?
Aging is a result of the fall. I am trying to figure out how limited the human body is due to the fall. How can Jesus escape the sin of original corruption but not escape the decay and limitations that were due to that original corruption.
