Please keep in mind, I mentioned you and linked your Cathay video right off the bat in this thread in order that he might see what top flight junior training and hours looks like - so no need to justify your credentials or "merit" to me.
However, I don't know that labeling an 11 year old who's proven to be nothing but honest about verifiable claims so far, and has had the bravery to put himself out here with both his goals, dreams, and video on demand with terms like "ignorance" or stating "he is telling us he can do it already" when he literally already asked a question about his chances of a much lower goal are altogether fair or kind.
I think some of the disconnect may be cultural/contextual. When he spoke of his dedication being better than his peers, I'd bet he was referring to American kids he's met - and in a country where schools are currently graduating kids who read at a sixth grade level, he's not wrong.*
When speaking of youths around the world working to make it to the top in TT - he needed to be enlightened as to the facilities/standards/hours devoted outside his limited experience (again, that's why I shared your video).
You, I, and many others have pointed out in a variety of ways that the odds are stacked against him. And many have offered constructive advice on how he might improve those odds, however slim they may be.
It sounds like he is largely self-motivated, rather than parent-pushed eg. Venus and Serena. And if I'm right about that, please go back and read the bits in his original post about the regimen this 11 year old has built for himself. *I dare say many American parents would be over the moon if their children were even fractionally as motivated/disciplined/hard-working as young Mr. K.
I'd wager a lot that if he had access to the millions you've repeatedly referred to as necessary, he'd already be working on convincing his folks to allow/facilitate the sort of things you recommend. Hell, before posting here he'd already somehow managed to arrange three months in Portugal and has language education in the works. And after hearing others here suggest he get to France/Sweden/Germany he's asked for more info on how he might do so.
Given what we know of young Mr K so far - if I were ridiculously wealthy, I'd happily fund getting him to Taiwan for a while so you and he could see what's what. But unfortunately for us, I'm not. More realistically, if I were an executive at the company (Joola) that sponsors the highly rated club in his region, MDTTC, and reading this thread - I'd be working to see what all I could do to support getting young Mr K there as soon and as often as possible. Children with his innate drive and discipline may be a dime a dozen in your part of the world, but they're relatively thin on the ground in the ol' US.
Again, I do not discount your experience in the slightest. And I'm not suggesting coddling/feeding the young man cotton candy flavored bs. However, I'm not sure he deserves to be called ignorant, or accused of refusing to listen. Sounds to me as if he's working on wrapping his head around what's been said here, trying to figure out what more he can do to achieve his goals and dreams within the bounds of his folks' expectations and resources, while continuing to express his true grit.
