Now you're arguing about Boruto's character in general. You're targeting his personality and morals. When people refer to someone as a prodigy, they're talking about their abilities. And Boruto has proven time and time again that his abilities are far greater than that of average Genin; Ergo, he's a prodigy.

Neji was a jerk who believed that anyone who was a loser couldn't change their lot in life.

Gaara was a psychotic murderer.

Orochimaru inhumanely experimented on people for his own personal gain.

You don't define a prodigy on their personality. If they're very talented, then they're a prodigy.

Also, you can't exactly judge Boruto because you've never been in his shoes. He's just a kid. Kids make mistakes. He cheated on an exam, which is something almost all students can say they've done. It doesn't downplay everything he legitimately managed with his own power.

EDIT Also, who said a character is capable of anything? No one said that. But when the actual writer and artist of the series shows us what a character is capable of, that means the character is capable of that feat regardless of whether or not you think it's plot.
