Default Bad-beats a better player make?

I’ve heard it said that the better player you are, the more likely you will get so-called ‘bad-beats’. The reasoning is that if you have shown some apparent skill, people will tend to tighten-up their starting requirements and play better cards against you. Therefore, as you get deeper into your session you can expect players having better holdings in the pots that they stay with you then you may have seen earlier. Your aggression can get exploited if you fail to realize the changes, and thus: the ‘bad beats’. This theory effects intermediate to advanced players at your table. The weakest will still make bad calls and draw out on you with improper odds.

What are some thoughts on this subject?
