And no, not literally; no disrespect intended.
This is a twist on a Buddhist quote from Linji: If you meet the Buddha, kill the Buddha. If one is told how to attain Enlightenment, if they feel they have reached a plateau, they are mistaken and allowed themselves to be distracted from their true path by a false image or ideal. Doing away with that false image and continuing on without pretence will set them back on their course, or arguably, lack thereof, hee.
Similarily, what is the true way to game? How did Gygax want you to game? Can you pull up one of his quotes to win an argument?

"The worthy GM never purposely kills players' PCs, he presents opportunities for the rash and unthinking players to do that all on their own."
