I tend to agree (although with less exclamation marks). My experience with Naso elegans, Naso vlamingi and Naso literatus is that they are eating machines and grow rapidy on a healthy diet. My elegans has gone through the same sizes you mention is about 1 year, and my vlamingi has gone from 1.5" to 3.5" in about 2 months!

Mind you... I give credit for keeping a fish for 7 years. A lot of people do worse than that and it must have been sad to lose him. Also, if you are the 2nd owner of the fish there could have been some history that prevented him from growing normally that we don't know about.
