I have an analogy, imagine taking a child to the beach, and maybe they can sort of swim. Say you have 2 choices for a beach, one where the water slowly gets deeper, and is maybe 5' deep 100'+ from shore, or one where it's a shallow 2-3' out about 30' then drops off to 100' deep.
This is your child, which beach would you go to?

I'd train the kid to be a better swimmer before I'd take it to any beach. Besides,how tall is the kid? If he's only a couple of feet tall,it doesn't really matter because he can drown in either case.
Look,I hear what YOU are saying,I'm merely pointing out that not everyone believes as you do...some people throw babies in the pool at the Y to teach them to swim. Some people are ok that start on bigger bikes and some people,like my buddy,total SV650s doing 50 in a 35 mph curve....I've said it before,most single vehicle bike accidents I've seen, that weren't stunt, debris, animal, etc, related were at under 80 mph and involved either too much corner speed,lack of brake control or a combination of the two.
