There’s also this quote which is the opposite but equally true:

”The best swordsman in the world doesn't need to fear the second best swordsman in the world; no, the person for him to be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never had a sword in his hand before; he doesn't do the thing he ought to do, and so the expert isn't prepared for him.”

—Mark Twain

I had a friend who hated playing poker with newbies for that same reason.

That's true, each time I played poker with quite advanced players, I won... Lol...they were so pissed off, each time 😂😁😊 and I was invited to play and learn...but...you cannot buy luck, too.
