What I was saying about random events was the tend to average out over the course of the game. If they don't, they are NOT random.

So actually you're not talking about random events but 'random' outcomes. There's a huge difference between the two especially as these outcomes do average out over the course of a game. Because that means that one specific outcome may be random, the aggregate outcome over a number of runs gets predictable. And whatever's predictable can be affected by skill. In fact I would define skill as the ability to reduce the randomness of the final outcome (so not of a specific single event but of the overall outcome).

Now that I'm thinking about it, I haven't even been able to come with an example of a single 'random' event that can not be affected by skill. Not saying there aren't any but there can't be that many. Anyone care to have a go at me with an example? See if I can 'skill' it away?
