In Response To: not really (phil simborg)

Yes, it was Tobias that gave you that idea which you found profound and most truthful thing that you had ever heard.

Your own words (all caps is copied verbatim):

"THERE IS NO FRIGGING LUCK! There is only the odds, and the only thing that changes those odds is the relative skill difference between you and your opponent."

I agreed with Xavier at the time that the argument appeared to sophism.
