I wouldn't yet call it a false assumption yet, moreso the most likely assumption. Granted, I can see how the most likely word meaning for Shin-won-ryu would lend a little credence to it being "shinsoo manipulation without a contract" itself instead of being a prerequisite. Though, from the way the GoG introduced the training by saying "I will teach you shinsoo control used by the 10 Great Families", later adding that Baam would never learn the "skill" he was trying to teach without controlling shinsoo independently of a Floor Guardian's permissions and then just looking at the basic effects of the technique, it suggests that Shinwonryu is merely an [extremely powerful] application of "shinsoo manipulation without a contract". Going with the 10 Great Families line, it seems unlikely that the 10 Family Heads (other than Eurasia Blossom) would have specialised Shinwonryu into their current. I mean, a localised pseudo-black hole explosion seems quite 'specialised' already.

For me personally, it seems like controlling shinsoo with a contract is like trying to drive an automatic gear car with a small engine, controlling shinsoo without a contract is like trying to drive a manual gear car with a huge engine and performing Shinwonryu is like driving a manual gear Ferrari.

I do agree that we will likely get techniques named something like "Shinwonryu - Technique X" or "Baam Style, Shinwonryu - Technique X" but this only lends to the thinking that Shinwonryu is more of an application (i.e. a shinsoo control style) rather than being shinsoo manipulation without a contract itself.
