That's bullshit to be quite frank, he is an imperfect Sage because in his host bodies he cannot use and maintain Sage Mode like a "perfect Sage" could. Oro found the cave and did the training, he wasn't eaten by the White Snake Sage meaning he managed to finish it and is a Sage.. but again his host bodies could not stay in Sage Mode, as they could not handle it, he just only uses it to make Senjutsu and that doesn't take long for him apparently.
