Who said I was going on Kojima's word on everything? I was merely pointing out that thus far, accelerated aging had not shown to be capable of having a 12 year old boy appear like a man who's around 40. Which has yet to be shown otherwise.

As for the inconsistencies, that was explained in the game. They altered the genes/virus/whatever that handles the accelerated aging within Solidus so that he would mature/age faster accordingly so that he could be be put in the President's seat. Which, in comparison to Solid's, had hardly of the degenerative effect like they did with Solid because he wasn't just an old man, he was a weak old man who's health has been consistenly shown to be effected by said acceleration. Where as Solidus, despite having a strength enhancing suit, showed no symptoms of weakness whatsoever.

Yes the MGS series has shown us a lot of crazy things, but my point was that the accelerated aging had not been shown in such a sense that it could make a 12 year old boy look 40 and it still hasn't, so my point on that still remains valid. Unless any future installment porves this wrong, it can be considered impossible.
