Grandmasters spend enormous amounts of time doing opening preparation, in some cases creating strategies for and memorizing entire opening lines.
Is that going to help bad/beginner/average players? Not at all, in many ways they're not even playing the same game. Jumping to conclusions based on what Grandmasters do is therefore apt to mislead.
