Basically, what I want to say is that, an 18 year old and a 21 year old player can train passing almost at the same pace and that just doesn't happen with pressure training!
The problem with using short timespan's and small sample sizes as evidence is the unknown that sublevels introduces. To be able to limit that I think you would need a longer time frame and a larger number of samples.
Because we can't see sublevels, it's impossible to use these small sample sizes that are being listed as justification of your theory. You would need hundreds of players in each age bracket, and preferrably at least 5 or 6 weeks straight of training a skill to get a better idea on the slow down from age.
On a side note, some more data that you can file away with your passing training: I trained an 18 year old (6'8"), 20 year old (6'5") and 21 year old (6'1") in passing 3 straight weeks and the 18 year old popped 3 times while the 20 and the 21 year old both popped twice.
EDIT: added players heights
