I hear this from people all the time and it just isn't true. It feels true, but it really isn't.
Fish play badly and professionals do not. Last week i lost a $100 pot to someone who called with 93os and hit a 4-outer on the river to make a straight. She told me that if i had bet more she would have folded so it was my own fault (I bet the pot on every street). She didn't even realise that I dont want someone who is < 10% to win the hand to fold. Will she win some times, sure, but she will lose a lot more.
If I played this same situation 10 times with this person i would stack her 9 times and be stacked once for an $800 profit. If i played against a pro i would win nothing every time. Bring on the fish...
