I think it's a little of both. Getting a good intuitive feel for the game is what lets you know when it's a good time to fake it. But the "Fake it; the players won't notice," isn't a reference to changing stats mid-combat (though I am guilty of that on occasion). It's more when you don't know...

Monsters/NPCs do not have a Base to Hit bonus, nor do they add attribute bonuses. A monster's "to hit" bonus is always its level. The cultists are +1 to hit with all attacks. Marie Laveau, as a 5th-level NPC, would be +5 to attacks. It keeps things simple.
