Isn't that a false dichotomy? I think there's more possibilities than either walking out of the theater in the middle of your son's first movie and tell to the press how he's still far from being ready to make films, or treating your son like a 5 year old.

That's a gross misrepresentation of what happened.
He was asked and he answered honestly.
End of story.
Who cares? Goro works are generally not good if compared with the works of his father, like a 5 years old drawings compared to their parents' drawings.
But this is not the school's play that every parent hates but attends because their children (they assume) care so much about it (I, for example, hated it and never wanted my parents to come and see me fail at something I was never good at and never liked), if you don't like the movie of some director, you can walk away and say "I did not like the movie", nobody dies, nobody should cry.
I sincerely wish more fathers did that, so we would be spared so many bad movies!
There's nothing wrong in being not equally skilled as your parents at something, but for the love of God, why are people so upset about what Miyazaki had to say about the works of his son and (BTW) be completely right about them?
Is it some form of projection with their own father?
