Intersting, but not unexpected. If you give people a masterpiece, be it music, a painting, a book, etc., uneducated people will not get nearly as much out of it as more educated people.

If you give fantastic ski gears to most people, then won't ski better than before, but to a good skier, they will change a lot.

It makes sense that you can use a tool to the maximum potential that you are capable of.
