It's really QED from there, which is why the whole exercise is fallacious.

Not only is it not QED, I don't even see how it's relevant to the question at hand. The question is testing whether undercutting is intentional or not. That's all we're interested in. Practice injuries may provide insight, or they may not. That doesn't relate to other types of injuries; that doesn't relate to the frequency of injuries. If we see undercutting in practice, that's a damn good indication undercutting is unintentional, don't you think?
The reverse isn't true of course, but the idea is that maybe, just maybe, we'll find undercutting in practice and put this baby to bed once and for all.
