That's completely inaccurate. By that rationale, everyone who is ever beaten is beaten by someone who is better than them. There are a few active threads about luck right now and about whether it's a significant part of the game or not. In this case, it very much is. The term "bad beat" would not exist if players only lost to people who were truly better than them.
No, by 'rilla's rationale, better players are better than you because they beat you in the long run. He never said anything in that post about "only" losing to better players.
