Try not to prescribe a misreading of collective data based on an observation of the behavior of a single datum. One does not read a trend from a single datum, and hence your first paragraph and your second paragraph are a non sequitur.
Your last paragraph contains another non sequitur—the first and second sentences are logically unrelated. The performance of skilled players against unskilled players has nothing to do with a sample lifted from the performance of only skilled players playing in the same rank.
