[Avodah] caeser & bar kamza

[Harvey Benton]

i attended a shiur last nite where the rov mentioned that basically everyone
(from the chachamim (not standing up for bar kamza), to the shamash (who sent 
the message
to the wrong person), to the host (mevazeh, etc) to bar kamza (moser), was to 
blame for the destruction related to the bar kamza story.....
the only one (acc to him) that acted properly in this case was caeser, because 
he asked for 

proof, that indeed the jews were rebelling and were not acting properly (and did 
not just take
someone's word for it). 
my question is; (gitin daf nun v (amud aleph i think), 
why didn't the chachamim or those in charge of the beis hamikdash, 
simply go and show the ceaser the blemishes that had been cut by 
bar kamza, and explain to him, that we would have gladly accepted an unblemished 
animal, 

but that this one before us (offered by caeser or his people) but then cut by 
bar kamza (eye & lip?)
had been tainted. .....
