Yes, but parrying an attack which you can't stop is harder (a smaller range of techniques works, and you have to perform them very well). An 80s-Arnie with enough skill not to swing wildly would be someone who you really wouldn't want to give a chance to swing at you, because while he wasn't the quickest he could certainly deliver force.

Any explanation would just involve searching this forum for the quote, and you can do that as well as I.
