I tried to respond to the objections by completely rewriting the description to make clearer the line in question.
Further, this does not overlap at all with what I understand of Most Triumphant Example. This is all about baggage, a problem not inherent in the trope, but common across many uses of the trope. An Instructive Example is ideally useful in Deconstructing the trope when critiquing the common uses of the trope.
Most Triumphant Example is all about the MOST PERFECT example; this does not require perfection, merely being sufficiently different from the usual usage that it either brings out the problem by being such a strong example of the problem, or by having the problem at sufficiently reduced volume to be of interest when discussing the problem.
If it helps, the example is "Instructive" from the point of view of TV Tropes; it illuminates some aspect of the trope by being unusual.

well first, poor firm for just letting the objections be posted and then not really doing anything about them. Also, Three Rules Of Three deficient.
Philosophically on slippy ground- aren't all examples meant to be instructive in some way? When it comes to practicalities, on worse ground- you have a page unconnected to the tropes it is talking about, trying to make judgements on those tropes and discuss them with a single example that people are going to disagree on.
