Again, yes, the writers do tell the VAs how they want the VAs to voice their characters but it's up to the VAs to be able to perform and deliver on those roles. Yes, the writers' expectations do get met but I also mentioned that it's more important to meet the expectations of the viewers because the viewers are the ones that are watching and supporting the shows. Fulfilling instructions on how certain characters are voiced don't matter in the end if the performances of the VAs aren't up to par and/or don't meet the expectations of the viewers. I'm done here. No more of this. I don't want another bomb to go off in here so let's just stop there.

As for Tara voicing a teenage Ben, again, your opinion. I think it can work if done right. You think it won't work. Maybe my expectations of Tara are a little too high. I don't think that's the case but maybe it is so. Then again, Tara Strong is one of my most favorite VAs and there are many reasons and examples as to why. Either way, you have your opinion, which I'm fine with, and I have mine. Now, I would like to know what other people on this wiki think of Tara Strong voicing a teenage Ben. Ben doesn't even have to be between 15 and 16 years old. She could voice Ben at age 13 and like I said, someone else could step in when Ben reaches somewhere between 16 and 18 years old. Again, Tara did voice Ben 23, who was in his teenage years (the wiki says he's between 12 and 14 years old but to me, he looks like he's 13 or 14). If Tara can voice Ben 23, why not have her give a voicing role for a 15 to 16 year old Ben? Again, I would like to know what other people think about this.
