I found this line in one of YouTube videos. I'm wondering why the speaker used the present perfect talking about previous generations. I thought that should be "Every generation before you was (these generations were in the past, no connection with the present) also the most progressive generation that had ever been (before each following)".
- You are the most progressive generation that's ever been. That is true. But here's something for you. Every generation before you has also been the most progressive generation that has ever been.
