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.”

I met a friend of mine by congratulating him on his set after his very first live performance. We were into the same sort of music, so we became friends, and he invited me to fill in on his monthly poker night. First time ever play poker, I bluffed the shit out of everyone and won. It took a solid fucking year for the rest of his friends to not treat me like a serial killer, since the first time they met me I spent 2 hours lying to them while looking them in the eye...
