Why are visualising combinations and using rule of 11 mutally exclusive?

Doesn't it usually happen this way: use rule of 11, see declarer has 1 card higher (say) think which one it could be (e.g. can't be jack or partner would have king-queen-10 and led king, can't be 10 for same reason, has to be king or queen thus safe to play the 9)

Why is rule of 11 stamped into people's minds as only for beginners? Is this why everyone wants to appear that they are too good for it? It seems to me, in this country at least, that bridge is one of those sports (like equestrian for example) where it is not socially acceptable to boast that you are better than you are (or even as good as you are). Is it not the same in the US?
