I actually just read that section on the way home and the estimate of age is "A youth, about 10 or 12" as judged by Arya. That's what makes me inclined to think its not true, but on the other hand there are instances of people's ages being mistaken. Robert Arryn seems a prime example of someone whose age would be impossible to judge without someone who actually knew him. Given the only person to have a guess at his age is Arya, herself a 10 year old girl, its not out of the realm of possibility that she misjudged. I'm not saying that's likely, but if GRRM really
wanted to have Edric Dayne be Aegon, nothing he has written so far would really stop him. It would be very odd, but its
possible. And really, isn't that what insane theorising is all about? :P
