That would have been a lot better.

Really if Lucas wanted to give the Jedi council a reason to take Anakin seriously, and to help prove his Chosen One status, they could have just have had him display an amazing ability to use the force. It would have made even more sense and been much more effective had Qui-gon put Anakin through some sort of test (sense things through meditation, move objects with your mind, etc.) to check how intune with the force he was, and had him display the abilities of an advanced student of the force, far beyond that of any potential Padawans who had been tested in the past, even master Yoda.
