We absolutely wouldn't. What Team 47 did in 1998 was and will remain unparalleled. Not only did they win three regionals in an era prior to dilution, but they won them in the pre-alliance era. This means they had to overcome every team at the event, with no one to fall back on in case of a bad match. Absolutely insane.
