I think you're underestimating Picard. Like, not only was the man a wild punk in his youth before Starfleet straightened him out, but it's shown throughout the series that he's more than capable of bluffing opponents with access to things like literal time travel.
If nothing else, if he fights Luke, he's not going to fight on Luke's terms if he can help it.
Bluffing isn't going to stop a lightsabre through the face.
In all honesty, I'm probably over estimating Pickard. Luke can force choke him from across the room while Pickard is doing his fancy speech
But wouldn't they both win as neither would want to even fight the other so there wouldn't be a battle to begin with?
