This means that no one is better at finding a wrongdoer than another wrongdoer. So if you do something wrong, then you would know if someone else followed your mistake, or you would know someone with the same quality as yourself, did the same mistake if that makes any sense lmao. The example will help better your understanding.

Get the it takes one to blow one! mug.
When you and your friends have just smoked a delious bowl and your glass piece is clogged with weed, making it impossible to take a monster rip and someone decides to make a stand and unclog the piece. They do so by sucking in as violently as possible sucking in any buds that may be clogging your inhaling mechanism. He then makes a face of disgust and opens his mouth and shows his tongue. His tongue is covered in ash. He has sacraficed himself in order for the smoking session to run faster and more effiecent.
-"Dude, whats going on, I barely got anything off that hit"
-"I was afraid of this."
-"Afraid of what?"
_"I must 'Take one for the team'"
-"You brave little soldier"
