No it would not. Especially when some else using the same style comes along and wins all 10 contests.
The point is that no amount of contests will ever prove the martial effectiveness of a
technique. Techniques, like hammers, are tools and in and of themselves neither effective or not. The Sensei cannot prove the martial effectiveness of a technique, only display his own effectiveness as a martial artist employing the technique.
