An example of what he was saying is say a true 2500 player is playing a true 2400 strength player. The 2400 strength players though he doesn't necessarily have equal tactical or positional strengths of the 2500 player can often have memorized reams of analysis (and ideas!) in a particular opening. The 2400 player gets an advantage because of that knowledge. He is also often strong enough to convert the position to a win. He was just saying that players stripped of opening knowledge would be on their own skills with out the help of anyone elses analysis. You can argue with that if you want to, it's not my statement. Though i do think it's a perfectly acceptable statement.
