I don't think he's saying "there's no value to having more work experience in a field...", if in the cases you mention, that experience is put to use to create additional value, then of course they (the more senior person) has added more than the junior person. It is up to the company to structure the work environment more or less formally with a different position designation and additional named responsibilities or just a different set of underlying expectations. A lack of structure or readily apparent difference in duties may make it seam like both the junior and senior person are doing the same work, maybe, but maybe not and when it hits the fan who are they going to look at? Who should have known better?

Definitely a "systems" approach is needed that considers the total picture:goals, cost, transformation schedules, culture, geography, and so on. Probably the best thing an individual can do other than trying to be personally efficient is to raise the awareness of elected officials and tell them it is something you consider when voting. How long did it take to build today's roadway infrastucture? This transformation will also take some time.
