It's not irrelevant, it's the core of the argument, because it means he did in fact have a chance. He got exactly what he bargained for. And the others didn't want it, because as Linh pointed out himself, they didn't even know it dropped from KS99 (and at least one of them has a Black Belt already). Only after he told them, they offered him that deal, which shows clearly that they had no interest in the tongue to begin with. He got exactly what he asked for (even more, since he backed out before upholding his part of the deal, which means he got two shots at a tongue for free). Three shots at a Black Belt for one shank, for someone who has no interest in a Defending Ring, that's as good as a deal is gonna get.
