Default Does \"knowledge\" cause suck-outs?

"Sorry, I thought you we're making a Squeeze Play," was his response after his Q9o cracked my aces.

Said player opened the pot from MP;
CO called;
I raised pot in SB;
Opener went all in;
I called;
(he caught a 4 flush to win hand.)

My question is: if he hadn't heard of a "squeeze play," would that hand, and the eventual suck-out had ever happened?

Or to create a hypothetical scenario: Say it's a person's first time playing a NL tournament and he's in the BB with 85o and the Button raises - more than likely he would just fold. But suppose he just watched Mike Sexton describe "how the BB sensed the button was trying to steal his blind and came over the top with nothing," and makes a move he wouldn't have made before - creating a potential suck-out situation.

I saw a perfect example of this on tv, where a player went runner runner for a straight when he was actually trying to just make a move. He bet on the flop; got raised; called raise; and then went all-in on the turn with a gutshot draw; he ran into a set; got called; then hit the straight.

I had another hand where I led out with top 2 pair and got put all-in from a player with overcards because "he thought I was just betting the flush draw."

I'm just wondering if alot of these situations are occurring because of the information and "knowledge" players are getting from books,tv,etc... creating potential suck-out situations that wouldn't normally occur with a less "knowledgable" player.
