I suppose he could have developed those abilities some time after GZ, but that's a considerably long setup without any hint of a connection. Although, in the Deja Vu version of Ground Zeroes, Donald Anderson/Decoy Octopus appears in the place of Chico... Ha! I didn't even make that connection! That is a connection I could expect from Kojima.

As for him having no apparent disguise skills, you do have a point. I think in my original explanation of my theory, I said that he did have recon skills, and I think I went on to say that he had a 9 year period of being trained (possibly by Ocelot - dat FOXHOUND connection) in the art of disguising and impersonation. Plus, as I said, he probably had no desire to be anyone but himself until after the events of Ground Zeroes.

As I said, I don't necessary believe it, but I think it's a cool theory nonetheless.
