One Hole,
I think the statement is sometimes true for some shooters. But the only way I would know to verify it for sure would be to have a shooter of proven superior skills shoot the rifle several times. If the better shooter is able to consistently produce better groups, then shooter error was the culprit in the first place.
I also think this kind of testing doesn't happen often.
I have read that this kind of thing is seen on club sight-in days, when the varmint and bench-rest guys help less serious shooters sight in their rifles. I have read comments like "Boy, I sure didn't know that ol' rifle could shoot like that."
