This reminds me of the woman who was teaching her daughter to cook a pot roast the way she remembered her mom doing it. You take the meat, cut off four inches from one end and throw that away, put the rest in the pan in the oven at 350 for 3 hours. One holiday when the daughter was hosting grandma came over early to help and saw her cutting the end off the pot roast. She asked why and the daughter said that was how her mom said she did it. "Oh child, I only did that because our pan was too small!"

A WarCraft III commentator told the story of how he once saw a pro, during the opening, send his Demon Hunter to the healing fountain on a certain map, and he started doing the same with the same timing on that map. One day he met the pro in person and asked why he'd done it, and the pro said, To see if the opponent's Blademaster was there.
Can you explain? I'm familiar with the mechanics and abilities, but probably not the tactics.
The Demon Hunter and Blademaster is each player's respective hero/champion and essentially a free powerful unit.

The DH player has the advantage during the early game, so is scouting around the map (the Fountain of Health being a likely location) to find an easy fight.
