Logical fallacy. Being the better player with an understanding, in any game, rewards you with an advantage, not a win.
In a well designed game, the % advantage you receive for being the better player is so high, that we just assume the better player wins.
Even though Tekken 8 is on crack right now. I still don't get why people say you don't need know to know how to play Tekken. Every Placer is still a veteran. The game Def rewards understanding Tekken.
