From what I've seen, most of these instructors in question are not competition shooters. In fact, they'll use the same arguments that you do to excuse their lack of results in competition. They wouldn't dare set foot at a major match for fear that they'll be shown up.

Keep in mind this is coming from a new but enthusiatic competition shooter. From what I've seen, the professional competition shooters that teach classes limit their instruction to matters of marksmanship. They pointedly avoid getting into what is "tactical" and what isn't. They don't teach you how to clear rooms or survive changing a tire at night in the wrong side of town. They, more than the instructors that cater to the mall ninjas, know what they don't know.

I might add some more thoughts on this later.
