[[WMG: MacMillan used the Zoltar Machine 20 years prior to the events of ''Big''.]]
During the piano scene it seemed like he was not only asking Josh about his opinions on toys, but also studied his behavior like he recognized it before. Through Josh he suddenly remembered himself as a kid. Only someone with the mind and insight of a child could make better toys for the company, hence since Josh was promoted and MacMillan was already head of his company there is only one conclusion. The Machine itself looked like it was around before even Josh was born.

Let's think what might happen to Josh in RealLife. With no ID and no money, no CV and no previous on-the-job experience, he would (hopefully) find some help with social workers, but still end up in a homeless shelter. If asked why he had no documentation, what would he say? At worst, he would wind up in a mental hospital. Hopefully he could come up with a good lie, but then what? Why is there no record of him? Does he have amnesia? Odds are... he'd probably end up in a mental hospital. Not because he's crazy, but because, where else is he going to go? (Good thing it's [[MST3KMantra just a show, huh?]])

This also gives a good reason why he quickly promoted Josh. He needed to watch over him to make sure his child like antics don't get him found out.
