I call this the “win-more problem.” Concepts that suffer from the win-more problem are those that—while certainly useful to an advanced user—are misleading or net harmful to a less skillful person. Further, they are wrong or harmful in ways that are difficult to detect, because they screen off feedback loops that would otherwise allow someone to realize the mistake.
Even though you’ve said this, people will think you defined the “win-more problem” to be the problem with something that helps you win more only when you’re already winning.

Yeah, this is correct. The naming is confusing.
