No its not that. Its just that we should be pairin ternece against your strongest player.
Theres a old chinese story that goes like this:
There was once an emporer who owned the fastest horses in the land and would accept challenges from anyone, and whoever beat him just once out of 3 tries would take his daughters hand in marriage.
There was another horse owner who owned some of the best horses so he challenged the emporer to a race. The emporer put his horses into 3 groups: fastest, medium, slowest and asked the challenger to do the same so he organized them into fastest medium and slowest. They paired their fastest to fastest and the challenger lost. The same result occured when the medium and the slower horses raced.
The challenger didnt take this loss easily and demanded a rematch, after all he had 2 more tries. This time, he came closer than before but his efforts were still futile and lost again in all 3 groups.
Now this time, a wise man was watching in the stands and admired the challengers effort so he wanted to help.
He found the challenger reflecting and mourning over his lossea and confronted him saying "you will never beat the emporer running your fast horses with his, his will always be better"
The challenger replied "Yes, I know, but what can I do to win?"
The wise man told him "you must pair your SLOWEST horses with his fastest and your FASTEST with his medium and your MEDIUM with his slowest. That way you will win 2 of the 3 matches and win his daughter"
The challenger brooded over this and rechallenged the king for the final time and followed the wise mans instruction. Needless to say, he was smashed in the fast vs. slow rade but won the other two and the proncess.

(God my fingers are tired, im not using this as an extended metaphor because you guys could still beat us with Fastest to Fastest and so on...)
