This is hardly true. The most famous fantasy adventures, whether Conan or Tolkien or Robert Jordan, start with "hicks from the sticks" and ends with them moving the universe. It is surely true that the hicks in question have remarkable characteristics even at the start, but their "skill level" certainly rises throughout the course of their adventures.
