yes he is, being a 10/4 over 1200 hands doesnt mean he is a winning player, being tight preflop doesnt mean you are going to make money.... post flop play is also extremely important, acttually you can be loose pre if you are very good post flop player.

i am gonna post ( i'll try at least, still dont know how to post them ) stats for my first 5nl 25k hands, last november... from those stats you will see i am 13/10, and you will prob think i am a winning player! wrong, in 25 hands i lost 110$ playing 5nl, being 13/10, why?because i sucked postflop and i was 13/10 but not the right 13/10, i was opening tight and calling raises tight, but with the wrong hands and didnt know how to play postflop! so even if my stats were good, my winrate was negative. seeing my bankroll going down, i moved up to 10nl and tried to get the money back, and i did by playing ABC poker at 10nl, but first week of january 2011, i rewied my play in PT3 and seen that even that i was wining at 10nl i was just a lucky jackass and hit a good run, that why i got my money back... so , leaving aside my ego, i came back at 2nl to learn to be a POKER PLAYER! this means i took all from beginning. why? because i needed to learn what to play and in what position, when and what to cbet,when to float, to recognize betting lines, to see a bluff, to learn who and when to bluff, to become positional aware, to calculate quick my equity, when to shove, when to call, how to play different types of players, how to adjust my range when playing diff types of players, to become better at range assigning, to learn to fold and many others....

i still suck at poker , but at least i am learning and i am winning , have a 7.68BB/100 last 30k hands in 2nl and if i see back my hands, i am not ashamed of my play. so my advice to you from my own experience: leave all this exercises, read and learn all in BEGINNERS DIGEST, start posting hands, get your ass kicked ( some of here did like this with mine but i thank them cause it helped) , ask questions as silly as they may seem and as often as you need, listen the advice and apply what you learn .... and soon you will be winning 2nl and after that level by level....
