Actually, this is misstated. Misstated as badly as the equivalent claim that in some games it helps to be irrational.
What helps is not being irrational, the thing that helps is being thought irrational (even if the only way to be thought irrational is to actually be irrational).
And in this case, similarly, it is not what you know that hurts you, it is what the other guy knows.
