He's not so naughty as he was.
He's not so naughty (now).


ޤƱˤСüԤˤäƲϰۤʤ褦not so ... as (presupposition) üʿ񤤤򼨤Ȥ

Some prefer to use so . . . as with negative clauses. But for some people so tends to carry the absurd implication of a possibility that is then negated, and they therefore find it odd to say:

   (?)Her baby is not so old as I thought.

The reason is that for them the sentence implies that a baby can be old. In other words, an unmarked term old . . . cannot be used in this context to cover the whole scale.
