I think it is good to play in tough games sometimes. To beat games full of bad players you don't have to actually play well, you just have to not play bad. It can stunt your poker growth to only play in games with bad players. There are a new set of skills you have to learn to beat players who aren't bad, and farting around in a tough game sometimes is a good way to learn those new skills.

Roy West's advice doesn't make any sense. Most players suck, so you should assume an unknown player sucks until they prove otherwise. There is a very low percentage of 'world class players' but a much higher percentage of players who have no clue what they are doing, especially at the lower limits. So assume the opposite, that your opponent is a clown, until they show you they have some game.

Yes, you play good and probably beat the games. But you could play better both by having a better "A" game and spending less and less time playing your "C" game. We can always play better.
