And? As I said, no guarantee that real Madara cannot break the seal if he approaches the sealed shadow, especially without TSBs added into it. I should remind you that it was Madara who escaped Shukaku's seal of far greater quality while he lacked both Rinnegan eyes and Juubi back then. Also, it's possible he can absorb the said seal just on touch.

Regarding Deva Path, it's also not a proof that Madara wasn't able to use it. I mean, he didn't even show all the Six Paths abilities Nagato displayed. If one character doesn't use a technique at some point, but later uses it, it doesn't necessary mean he was previously unable to. And you're deviating from the topic in fact, we were speaking about the absorption ability which Madara has shown even without eyes.
