Is it Abridged canon that Piccolo's insistence on dodging is a direct consequence of King Piccolo's defeat?

To refresh - King Piccolo was killed when Goku punched through his body. In the crucial moment, as Goku was launching his attack, King Piccolo decided to block it. It also seems like he was in a perfect condition to dodge the attack, but decided to block it, leading to him getting penetrated.

Learning from this memory, the first thing Piccolo teaches Gohan is to dodge attacks.

(It's likely this question has been asked multiple times before.)
