Yes I would because that's how the terms are defined. It doesn't mean it doesn't require skill, it just means that's how some nitwit decided to divide the categories.

Edit: to be exceptionally clear, these categories have NOTHING to do with how you define the word "skill". I didn't pick the words, but you can't force it to fit a definition of skill because this is the accepted meaning. Sorry.

Defined by whom? Merriam-Webster lists the definition I was using as the official definition.

I may have responded to you without reading carefully enough. It seems we are in fact making the same point on the reread.
