The luck vs skill argument is pretty silly.

Certainly one can catch a large fish with little skill simply because they're lucky. And certainly a skilled fisherman can go home empty because they didn't have enough luck even though they did everything "right".

But the more times you apply your skills, you dramatically increase the number of opportunities to get lucky, as well as have a better chance to leverage that luck into results. So skill or luck can be good, but skill times luck is even better. Regardless it still takes luck.
