In Response To: Denmark v. The World - All Match Files--what about luck? (phil simborg)

I would guess that even in "normal" tournament competition, in the later rounds (semi-finals and finals) when what Stick calls the "donkeys" have generally been eliminated, luck nearly always prevails over skill. Is this not the case?
