I see no point in this discussion at all. All the evidence points out that Madara used PS already with the EMS, his boasting about PS's power during the fight against 5 Kage being the most prominent proofs. Also, unlike Wood Release, which Madara himself stated to check out as a new ability to him back then, he never stated such a thing about PS, he clearly knew the extend of its power, i.e. he used it before. And since Madara went into hiding after VoTE battle and didn't have a chance to use any of his fighting jutsu, let alone in the old age (the point when he awakened the Rinnegan), it's clear as a day that Madara has already used PS in his youth with EMS, even if we're tossing aside the anime-only extention of his fight with Hashi.
