Frankly it still makes no sense for it to be Solidus, even if you take in account of the supposed high accelerated aging (which I still find highly doubtful) you also keep in mind that he'd have to be trained in a short time and taught everything. I'm sorry but that seems impossible, let alone that he needs to be trained in the basics like every other child, he'd also would need to be trained in combat and the like, and all that combined with the supposed high accelerated aging just seems unlikely, it's too much to take in within just a decade.

And again, he claims to have been watching Big Boss for 9 years, which makes it even harder to accomplish all that. There's just too many implausibles for Ishmael to be Solidus.
