A lot of questions there Brat.
A.
In a nutshell; (1) of course, those who write poker books have had some previous experience and success of playing high stakes poker or the publishers wouldn't bother taking them on. (2) Lots of pros who have won tournaments HAVE already written good books on the subject.
B.
In my limited experience "Yes", memorising "what if..." scenarios would indeed be fruitless because it all depends on the type of competition and those who hold the cards.
C.
Good books are a useful guide but that's exactly what they should be: "useful guides". Studying them religiously and taking their ideas as gospel is just wrong. Take on board their insights but I think you need to develop your own style once you get a feel for the game.
As they say, in most fields; "You can only really break the rules once you become good enough."
