This reminds me of when veteran professional poker players play complete novices. They often say that beating a brand new player is harder than beating a mediocre player, since a novice player will do things that make no sense seemingly randomly.
Or they try to do things that work in their "normal" games: bet sizing, giving off false tells, etc. that just go right over the head of the novice player.
There's a quote from probably Doyle Brunson or Amarillo Slim along the lines of "It's like trying to show a dog a magic trick"
