Also, his "getting adult" path has also been far from normal - away from society, tracking Heckapoo, surviving etc. You can do this for 16 years, learn a lot of stuff and still be only a "teenager" who has learned nothing other then things from adventures.
However I get the point everyone is complaining about. Writers could've done a better job explaining why things are like that. And it was explained during livestream, but I still consider it as "not enough"
My thought is that those 16 years were REALLY 8 minutes. It's just some kind of a simulation trial program/dimension that helps a person to earn scissors without actually losing half of their life. And at the same time - with passing or failing all needed tests to prepare a person for owning given scissors.
It's like using plane simulator before you can actually try a real one.
Anyway, all those dimension shenanigans have ended up in Marco's short-term memory (unlike true experience) and that's why the whole thing has partially faded.
