Would an earlier German 9.4-inch policy change British gun choices?

Would choosing 9.4-inch guns for earlier German ships alter the British response?

It could bring forward a 13.5-inch British gun choice, though capital-ship requirements are considered the more important influence.

A clarification moves the German 9.4-inch choice earlier in the design sequence. That raises the possibility of choosing 13.5-inch guns for the Lord Nelsons, followed by the same caliber in Dreadnought and Invincible. British capital-ship development is still considered more important to that choice than German armored cruisers. The Lord Nelson's 9.2-inch secondary guns are also regarded as close enough to the German caliber to engage it effectively.
