No one in a hundred years life has been saved, because they practiced shooting in competition? No police officers successfully defended themselves back in the days of the revolver and PPC competition? None of Coopers students who shot ISPC saved their lives with the shooting skills they learned? All of them always failed?
I'm not sure that is what he is implying. From where I am, it looks more like he is saying techniques designed solely to win competitions ("competition shooting techniques") as opposed to broader techniques that are applicable both for competition and real fights. The meaning isn't clear, and your version of it can certainly be valid, but the "ego driven" phrasing seems to me to be referring to that "let's use the game technique to win even though that technique could get you killed in an actual gunfight" mentality.
