This is a pretty limited view of how tilt works IMO. Poker knowledge fixes tilt in a ton of ways:
- It's poker knowledge to be aware that letting tilt influence your play is -EV.
- It's poker knowledge to be aware that bad players playing poorly and winning is good thing you should encourage.
- The more poker knowledge you have, the less uncertainty you have about your decisions, the less uncertainty you have about your decisions the less likely you are to experience negative emotions around them and subsequently tilt.
Sometimes great players with tons of knowledge tilt and act driven by emotions in spite of their knowledge, but I would argue the vast majority uncertainty factors in which means knowledge can correct tilt. Most players who are studied, bankrolled, and confident they have an edge in their game don't tilt, I think that's not a widely held opinion because so very few players are those three things.
