Re: TOP: Obviously, tough players beat weak players

I think this is pretty obvious as long as you bear in mind that whenever we are talking about "beating games" we mean to beat them over a long period of time and not just an individual session - or a single pot.
p6 "it is important to realise that you are not playing in individual games. Each session is part of one big poker game. You cannot win every session you play any more than a golfer can win every match that they play..."
Over and over again we are encouraged to think about poker long term and not think about short term results.
So yes in this context after a small period of adjustment a great player at higher limits will have little trouble destroying a small stakes game.
Of course whether they would want to - and how excited they might get about winning a $5 pot rather than a $500 pot is a different story altogether....
