With all due respect to those on both sides, you're taking extremely small sample sizes and making sweeping conclusions from them. This is the same as someone who sees that it's snowing in March, and therefore discounts global climate change.
Honestly, heres what I think is happening - its called the Ladder of Inference.
Since you're starting with the assumption that miss rate is high, every time you have a statistical outlier (a fight in which you miss a lot versus a lower level mob) you remember it, since it supports your assumption. When you WTFPWN a blue by not missing much and hitting hard, when it does the opposite, you don't even think about it and go about your business.
Furthermore, at low level you don't have all the tools to bolster a miss rate in the 30s (which honestly sounds just about right or even a tad low, from what i remember from classic). At 15, you're not double attacking and dual wielding frequently - at high level when you quad most rounds and miss 1-2 each quad, you probably won't even think much of it.
Of course I've had fights against blues where it went poorly, but I've also had fights against whites where at the end I was at the same life % I started it with.
