Well, that is PART of it yes, of course that is common sense.
But what I am saying is that for THIS topic ( Secret true WC), the only secret to WC is that you have to fight with it to unlock its "secrets".
Which is exactly the same for every other MARTIAL art.
You don't unlock the "secrets" of Judo by NOT doing randori.
You don't unlock the "secrets" of driving by reading the car manual or a driving instruction book or by going out on a closed road, you unlock them by actually driving and the more you drive and the higher the level of difficult of the "track", the better you get at it.

Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
