Fans seem to forget all the other people who helped write the stories. The only reason "Make it Right" isn't canon is because Kojima says so. If Konami put someone else in charge, they might do something similar with Solidus as seen in Revengeance.

As far as I know, the games haven't said a child can't experience accelerated aging. Nor did they state when Solidus first experienced said aging. Even if you go by Kojima's word alone, it's not impossible unless Kojima has said so. I would prefer it if you did not put words in my mouth, because again, I was not going purely by Kojima's word, I was going by what the series, what the lore has told us so far and Kojima is not credited as the sole writer of the series until MGS4 and upwards. And so long the established lore hasn't told us otherwise, we can safely assume it does not work that way. We have no reason to think differently because there is no evidence towards that claim. Basically said, claiming that accelerated aging works to make a 12 year old boy look like a 40 year old man is about as true as claiming that Chico is Quiet. There is no clear evidence to suggest it so why even theorize about it?
