I know this has nothing to do with the point you were making but I 
would like to add one tiny clarification. 

Any similarity of the WS to a peerage does not come from the lack 
of a higher level award. Witness those kingdoms that have nothing 
higher than an AoA level fencing award, and that not resembling a 
peerage at all. Rather, it comes from the fact we are charged with 
being the guiding body for our particular activity and are 
answerable to the crown.
