I sort of wish this was true, as then this whole thing wouldn't be a dilemma - we could just continue training in whatever is most effective and the values would take care of themselves. But it doesn't seem to be that way. I think there's an element of truth to what you're saying, but it's not the whole story: certainly the live training element forces you to be humble in the face of how much there is to learn and how frequently you'll get beat up by a more skilled opponent, but I still feel like if you look at the people who've done the most live training in the world (e.g. UFC fighters) that there aren't necessarily a lot of great role models in that group, whereas I know I can find plenty of humble people with integrity in, say, an Aikido dojo. It seems to me that there is a real tension between combative effectiveness and these traditional values, but I don't think it has to be that way.
