He doesn't get it. In my experience, a lot of new poker players think that the best hand is supposed to win 100% of the time, even thought it's very rarely a 100% favorite. Like, when they get all in preflop with AA vs xx, they think they are supposed to win 100% of the time, and when they lose once in a while, they forget about ll the times they won in that spot and start babbling about poker being rigged.

This is why Penguinfan left us, because he couldn't get this through his head and refused to try to learn. (starting at Post #6), which gives a great example of what we are talking about here.

I guess I have trouble understanding how people don't understand math. The best hand isn't always supposed to win!!!
