Well, I guess you should stop arguing with that person, whoever they may be, at least you can take solace in the fact that I would never hate someone for such stupid reasons. Like I said before, it is fact that Sonic Jam officially gave Sonic the age of 16, which means, as far as official material goes, we can only assume that classic Sonic was 16 years of age, which means he couldn't have been 11 in CD. I should also point out that Sonic CD was the first time they released a bio for any character, so by your logic Amy's age in Sonic CD shouldn't be taken seriously.

Ultimately, you shouldn't just pick and choose what facts you want to accept just because you like them, you can't really say that Amy was eight because an official source said so, but then say that another official source is wrong because it says something you don't like.

However, perhaps I should point out that Sonic has always stood a meter tall, but in Sonic Generations classic Sonic was notably shorter than modern. Now this suggest that some information from the classic era may have been retconned, but that is of course speculative and all we have is the official information we are given.
