I could write a compelling piece on how my 2yr old defeated Eorzea's best at the Grindstone, but that still doesn't make it plausible, even if it was executed properly.Well, you are already limited by the game itself simply because the character creation (and thus, your in-game representation of any given character) is also limited, so I would question a premise like that right off the bat simply for lack of tools with which to do so.
Exaggerated for effect.
But yes, obviously there is a sliding scale for this sort of thing. The more outrageous you go, the harder it is to get anyone to buy in to the premise. In this case, however, your hyperbole does you little credit as obviously no one would ever even attempt that in the first place. I see your point but it will never happen, and anyone in their late teens (the much more common scenario) is, quite frankly, enough of an adult that I can see it happening even if it is rather unlikely.
At any rate, you might change your mind if you actually read such an amazing story with a series of events crafted in such a way that you cannot help but accept that the way things turned out are the way they should have been - could have been, even. The fact that you reject the idea simply means that this has yet to happen. A shame, but I'll not lose any sleep over it (more because I'm not the one who needs to please you more than anything).
That's definitely stopped people from playing children before.
Oh wait.
...no it hasn't.
..And this, again. I'm going to go ahead and say the younger your character is and the more skilled they are, the more they lean toward mary sue-ish tendencies. I only say this because typically the only young people you see that are exceptional at any sort of skill are the main protagonists of a story, of which none of our characters are. People may disagree with me, but that's just how I feel about it. A 12 year old prodigy that can do special moves works well when they're the main character of the story. ...But we aren't, so I don't see how it's remotely plausible to defend.
