Measuring the Greatness of an martial artist.

I am scared of sparring therefore I do not want to spar,I train by myself.
I do not want to spend money on martial arts classes therefore I train with what little martial arts
techniques I know by myself.
I do not want to spend money on training equipment(punching bag,wooden dummy),therefore I train without equipment,I train punching the brick wall.
I therefore have come up with my personal standard formula for measuring the greatness of an martial artist.This is:
(How much you have achieved) divided by ( how less you are physically X how less time you have X how less training equipment you have X how less techniques you know X how less sparring experience you have) = ( How Great you are).
So if a man that is 4 foot tall,blind in one eye,has only one arm working,has only one leg working,has no training equipment,has not taken any martial arts classes, but he manages to come up with a hand-fighting-technique-self-defence style just within 2 weeks,and he self-trains on his own in just 2 weeks,and that self-defence style he created allows him to be able to knock-out 10 big,tough,viscious men that are 7 foot tall,and those 10 viscious men are armed with machetes,and they are out to kill him.But the small man who has trained in only 2 weeks in his own created hand-fighting-martial art style and he manages to knock-out all those 10 big,tough,viscious men.
Then I would say that small man is the GREATEST martial artist.
