Which is also why i think versus debates with knowledge are pointless. A major ninja skill is figuring out the enemy's patterns and win conditions. Pain's strength was entirely based around the fact that an enemy wouldn't expect there to be six. It's how he defeated Jiraiya.

Minato's greatest strength is that he can end the fight before the enemy even knows there is one. Full knowledge is an insanely hard nerf to Minato, whereas someone like Hashirama (But also other characters, like Gaara) prefer to comfortably fight from a distance and just wear down their opponents.

Hell, major fights like Deidara v Sasuke or fights like Naruto vs edo Third Raikage were about knowledge.
