O.K., so you're squarely in the same camp as Garfield and Elias. I have no major objection to that point of view, although I myself don't prefer it.

Just focus on the luck associated with the dice. That way, there is no confusion.

Well, that depends on what you mean by "luck associated with the dice." In actual backgammon, the dice also contribute to the selection of the backgammon "puzzle" you are faced with over the board, and so if you are "lucky" in the sense of getting an easy decision, then that luck is in part due to the dice.
