No, this is a demonstration of the quality, performance, or reliability of the vest. They had already established the quality, performance, or reliability of the vest when the tested it prior to the demonstration.
I know you are trying to use ‘establish’ to mean ‘establish in the minds of’ or something like that, but the whole meme is based on misleading the viewer to believe that this was the step where they made sure it worked. The joke is pretending this is a test and not a demonstration. It wouldn’t be nearly as funny if it was an actual test.
In this case the semantics are the entire joke and important.
You have fun with making this argument over demonstrably wrong semantics. I’m done with trying to read off the dictionary to someone with no intent of listening.
