The late British grandmaster Anthony Miles has beaten World Champion Anatoly Karpov with 1...a6 and the British international master Michael Basman has had success with 1...h6.
It is all about statistics. If a low rated player has 1% chance of playing a perfect game and he does play 700 games, he will on average play 7 perfect games. Nothing strange in that.
However the chance of playing 7 perfect games out of 10 is a chance of 1 / 2500000000000.
