This means Solidus was not even alive by 1974. Chico =/= Solidus. when he says that kaz is referring to their age solid liquid and solidus were born in 1972 and PW is set in 1974 so he's talking about their age considering that its impossible for a women to get pregnant then go into labor 2 years later also chico was twelve in 1974 so he literally can't be solidus yes you can retcon an indivuals age but only by a few years not 10 years sorry to all of you who believe chico is solidus but there is no point in arguing this theory anymore there's just to many facts that are set in stone and are honestly unnecessary to retcon so, sorry When Kaz said "Two already..." in Peace Walker, I initially interpreted that to mean there were two clones made already. The phone conversation is just vague enough for interpretation. He could either be saying "Two (clones) already..." or "Two (years old) already...", and both would make sense.

Chico was CLAIMED to be 12 years old. However, if Chico was a clone his age would be exaggerated to hide the truth. It's a little odd how Chico's birthday is 1962, and the cloning began in 1972. Exactly 10 years apart. Those involved with any supposed cover up could say Chico/Solidus is 10 years older than his date of birth, thanks to accelerated aging. Then throw in the excuse of "stunted growth" to avoid any questioning about the clone's physical appearance.

The only bit of information needing retconning to make this theory more believable, is the order in which the clones were cloned. If Kojima retconned to make Solidus the first clone that might resolve most of these issues.
