I think he’s suggesting that if someone doesn’t know their world ranking, then they might be quite good, but not seriously good. And if they are world ranked, they wouldn’t claim “they could beat anyone” unless they were the world champion. In which case they would know.
Bur he can’t really know anything about your skills from a comment, so who cares. Either way, you’d both certainly smash my sorry ass.
I didn’t really go too deep into thought about this when I was crafting my reply. I don’t think I’m the best in the world. I am just like pretty sure that I’m top 5% or so haha. So i just most people wouldn’t be in that top 5%. Hwoever I’m definitely 0ut if practice at the moment and would need to prep.
I suppose, if you operate under the assumption that everyone who says they’re good is lying? But that’s an assumption based on no evidence. I suppose me saying I can beat anyone is also unproven. But hey, it’s an Internet forum. I can’t “prove” it lol.
So you’re saying you could beat me just based on the fact that i said i can beat anyone? I’m very confused with your statement.

I think they mean that when people say things like your other reply, they’re not usually that good. At least I think that’s what they were getting at.
