I'm not sure I agree with this.

First off, this may have happened with his first few opponents, but when he
consistently started to win, the rest of his opponents would have taken him
seriously.

Secondly, at the IM and GM level, you do not get there if you do not take every
opponent seriously. Anybody can get lucky and find a game winning move if their
opponent is not constantly diligent.
