You've just said some demonstrably untrue things. Many of the instructors that I've seen holding this test were champions. I'm not sure how one goes about winning a belt without "participating" in the sport. By your tone I deduce you must have several.
My teachers in this sport have always stressed respect first and foremost. It seems this value is falling by the wayside in martial arts once again. Perhaps you will learn it in the ring.
