Poor choice of words on my part, I meant help ask for a towel.
But then again, it's surprising how much help he does get (eg. advice from Harada-sensei), even if he never asks for it (but clearly needs them).

I see it in the sense that when he looks like he's putting so much effort into something, and still lose, then he just appears weak.
If he doesn't look like he's trying too hard, and lose, then he could just easily deflect it off (in the eyes of others).
When you look at the current Meijin and Queen, who appear to win almost effortlessly, he would look comparatively weak.
