Just talking slightly about the Sword and Shield Paradox; EMIYA says that "a long time ago, I was taught about something similar." [in the literal meaning of the japanese words]

In our modern times, which EMIYA lived in, we have the very common "Spear and Shield" story about the spear that can pierce any shields and the shield which can stop any spears, along with stuff like "unstoppable force meets an immovable object".

So rather than a reference to the fight between Lancer Cu and EMIYA, it's just a common analogy.
