For sure it would test the 19th century theory (which I would argue is alive and well in many circles today) of European colonial thinkers like Max Müller, T. W. Rhys Davis, Paul Carus, Ernest Renan, Henry Steel Olcott and Helena Blavatsky, among others, that Buddhism, when practised by "Aryan" races and not corrupted by the "Negroid" and "Mongoloid" races of South Asia and China, is the most enlightening religion, system of thought, etc., conceivable, with the capacity of creating an even superior civilisation than the post-Enlightenment secular West.
