There's a great scene in the novel _Marathon_Man_ in which it is

how a lesser basketball player could make Kareem Abdul-Jabbar miss a
shot simply by giving him a nudge at just the right moment.

Of course, Abdul-Jabbar was one of the greatest players of his age.
Some goof claiming to have superior credentials in philosophy and law,
but who spends 12 hours a day playing a brainless and ****witted "zen
game" in Usenet, certainly isn't a formidable intellect or a
demonstrably superior opponent, and it doesn't require much of a nudge
at all to get him far off his game. It was fun being the one doing
the nudging anyway.

*You* ran away, fat boy. "Crushed", indeed!
