ROI is not a measure of skill

is totally either disingenous or just wrong, whichever.

surely you aren't going to argue that over a large sample size a player with greater skill is going to outperform, on a ROI basis, a player with lesser skill. that's just silly. and yes, yours truly does believe that 5k games does verge on large enough sample size to start to know things and yes, i'm sure you're willing to throw out facts about how you could just be learning the first 500 games, but yeah, people can learn to throw out the games from their early career, and things like that.

pick a point at which you think you started playing the way you're playing now, play identically for 5k games, and yes, your ROI is a measure of your skill.
