More than that, it's hard to know how to exploit someone unless you know what mistake they're making.
If an opponent semibluffs too much, you can exploit by calling too much or rebluffing too much. If they semibluff too little, you can exploit by calling down too little. But to know whether they do it too much or too little requires knowledge of where the Nash Equilibrium is.
A lot of people are pretty successful at guessing. The LAGs that someone referenced earlier in the thread probably did very well for a while because loose-passives called down way too much so they weren't punished for betting way too much. And TAGs probably bet/folded too much so LAGs could bluff raise too much and not get punished.
There are probably still a few gross outliers - people who you can just intuitively guess which side of GTO Mountain they're on, like nits who never bluff or idiots who raise ATC. But as they get fewer, it becomes more important to figure out whether someone who raises top pair+ plus queen high flush draws is semibluffing too much or too little.
