That's what that expression was intended to mean.  The sense of the word
"prove" has changed since the expression was coined.

I think the Archives already makes an exception to its rules with respect
to WBZ.  The original WBZ in Springfield became WBZA and was discontinued
in 1962.  The present WBZ is the continuation of the original WBZA in
Boston.
