In school, we had a single TT table. Every games class, some 30 of us would crowd around the TT table playing doubles. Rules were simple- 1. Winners continue to play 2. Losers keep shuffling out Since we just had an hour a week to play it led to everyone over optimizing to win by playing conservatively. Risk appetite to play smashes was dead. Everyone just kept playing chop shots. Except for this one dude, Abhinav who'd keep smashing every single shot he got to take. 99% of which he'd miss. Naturally, nobody wanted to partner with him because that'd lead to them losing and getting shuffled out. Until one day, when Abhinav's smashes started making contact. The rest of us were so familiar with the defensive game that not only did we not know how to hit smashes, we did't even know how to stop them. For months, it was just plain Abhinav's table while all of us slowly learned how to play and defend properly.
