Why the projected winners only educate the noobs and not the pros

Because the pros already know who is most likely going to win.

99.9% of Americans are 'noobs' here, you do realise.

As I mentioned elsewhere, seasoned observers can usually tell which candidate is on track to win long before most media outlets make projections based on early election returns from specific regions. For example, the 2020 Montana Senate race was called by media outlets about 4 hours after polls closed, but based on a certain user’s post on key county benchmarks, I knew which candidate was on track to win as soon as the first few counties reported early results and I compared those results to those benchmarks.
