That kinda made me lol ^^
good players shouldnt care about the opener of their opponent. they should be able to counter any move by improvising.
in aikido the "noob clab" is a good opener to gain a neutral position. you can either attack (lift or push) or defend ... so it is a very good move in my opinion. it depends on your skills, of course, how you use it.
