Default TOP: Obviously, tough players beat weak players

On page five of Theory of Poker, Sklansky says:

(Obviously if you can beat tough games, you will have little trouble destroying easier games.)

*Is* this obvious? I’ve seen Fimbulwinter’s post about the things that small-stakes players do better than large-stakes players, and I think it reveals a different *flavor* that prevails in a small-stakes game. Yes, the players are generally softer, but I assume they are softer in ways that require significant adjustment in your game. If you walk into a $25NL table and try to play the same way you would at a $1000NL table, you’re not going to make NEARLY as much money as a great $25NL player would under the same circumstances. We can’t just learn how to beat the best games and assume that means we can beat any game.
