They are some teams that operate on a different level than everybody else. What else would you call them? I am not whining but they also have different resources. They have characteristics to be admired, I wouldn't go so far to promote hero worship.

I agree this shouldn't always be seen as a whiny statement. This statement doesn't mean that the team has more money or a better facility or better machining sponsors. Sometimes it just means that they have an experienced group of people that excel at analyzing a game and are able to help their students understand how to best play it.
