One can prove this statement is true taking an example of Japanese Beer market. A company, who has top market share, should be careful in its strength not weakness to keep the top market share.
Kirin was the top share maker in Japanese beer market about 20 years ago. Kirin had been top share beer maker for about 10 years, then. Their lager beer was so popular that no competition could beat them. Kirin was so proud of their strength in their lager beer. They did not have to bring new products for a long time. The lager beer was Kirin's strength in Japanese beer market. Sapporo was the 2nd market share beer maker. Asahi was the 3rd.
Sapporo attacked Kirin's strength taking advantage of weakness of Sapporo Draft Beer. At that time, Draft Beers were only in the bars and restaurants. People did not believe they could drink Draft Beer home. People jumped into Sapporo Draft. One year later, Sapporo became No. 1 market share Beer Company. The weak defeated the strong by attacking their strength with their weakness.
Several years later, Asahi took the same strategy attacking Sapporo. Asahi came with a new concept of beer, Dry. Asahi's slogan was; it tastes like a beer, you feel like drinking a beer. Their alcohol content was 2% higher than others. Their message was "a real beer for a real beer drinker". Since people started to like lighter alcoholic contents drink, they used reverse marketing to regain the market. Asahi became No. 1 share with Asahi Dry.
Kirin recovered its No. 1 position with a new concept of Draft Beer. That was "Kirin Ichiban". They competed exactly as this old Zen paradox statement. The weak is not weak because of his weakness. The weak can win with his weakness.

Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be
on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked
while people consider worries that they just do not
know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also
defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
