Calling someone a quitter, defeatist, etc., is not positivity, and I don’t think positive encouragement (in most cases) counts as indirectly saying they’re a quitter if they don’t do the thing.
I agree, but the implication of the comic is that the man is somehow being contradictory or incorrect in thinking it is too late to start learning. Perhaps not, but there is nothing shameful or inconsistent about his assertion that it’s too late now. There ARE legitimate and concerning differences between starting at his age and starting in youth.
