It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The general range for replacing one is after around three to five years of use

After that long, I'd be replacing it out of boredom and wanting something new. LOL

The question is, would having an old helmet still be better than no helmet? Because trying to convince someone who already resists wearing a helmet, that they will also need to replace it ever few years, might just turn them off forever.

An old helmet is better than no helmet but it's best to replace after a crash or 5 years. The impact absorbing foam deteriorates over time.
