That would certainly be true of an IQ-based skill; I cannot teach you information I do not myself know. (Although I can guide you a helpful reference where that information exists.) A DX-based skill may operate under different rules, because Olympic athletes are routinely coached by people who do not have Olympic-caliber skills themselves, but who are nevertheless pretty skilled and knowledgeable.
