I think it's a little different. If someone asks the question

"Joe's poker play is improving; when he gets good, will that ruin
   poker?"

I'd think this was a silly question; there will be plenty of tables
that Joe is not playing at, and Joe will have no effect on these tables.

But if someone adds

"Joe is able to play 24 hours a day, and has sufficient powers of
concentration to play at 1000 tables at once without effect on the
quality of his play",

then I'd worry a bit more about Joe's effect on the poker world.
