Now, Nibbler, let's also remember that a short time to first solo does not mean someone is a bad person...
The question is repeatedly asked and thus repeatedly answered... So what? No need to get too terribly upset by someone going solo in 8 hours and, when asked, confessing to it...
18 hours here btw, FWIW, spread out over a year and a half... Not the ideal way of doing it, but it works!
