You don't train to to be able to fight someone unless they're able to fight back which Aizen can only do if he's escaped or expected to escape.
If he is using him as a benchmark as you say, the words of choice would have been "To be at Aizen's level" or better yet a person just as strong if not stronger than Aizen to completely avoid the possible confusion of saying Aizen escaped, say Ichigo.
If you're claiming that Renji/Soul Society is expecting him to escape and training for that then you are merely adding to the idea that Soul Society is incompetent in that they couldn't even defeat Aizen and Ichigo had to do it single-handed, but also that they can not hold his weakened and contained form.
There's VERY little difference here between "escaped" and "will escape" when it comes to saying what renji did because like i said, the fact he was sealed means it can break. Which you seem to agree with.
What you are saying is only completely true when aizen is dead. He isn't. Renji's statement being unlikely in it's connotations doesn't make it logically incorrect.
The issue of soul society being incompetent because of aizen in general is silly even though i agree. Since when is this something exclusive to bleach? I could call the spirit world from yu yu hakusho incompetent because they couldn't handle toguro/shinsui (much less every single lower layer of the demon world) and he had to be killed by yusuke. I could call the leaf village incompetent because they couldn't handle pain. This isn't something new and you know it. Main hero is always god and any organization that may have raised him aren't s'hit just because the hero surpasses them in every way.
Besides, aizen will be hilariously outmatched by the time he breaks out.
