Sure, but to the extent it is also a test of whether a machine can win at Jeopardy it has an unfair advantage due to the buzzer mechanism.
And we're not actually learning if Watson can answer more Jeopardy questions correctly than Ken Jennings. It could be that Jennings knew 58 answers to Watson's 52 but it doesn't matter if Watson gets to answer all of the 50 they have in common.
But yes, it is certainly a great demonstration of the technology, I just quibble as to what exactly it is showing.
