so that means i'm right. hypothetically....you take any group of players. what's the best way to decide who's the best? play a tournament and see who wins, or play cash games and then see who walks away with the most money? i think the bes tway to decide is to play a tournament.

No.
I left off the other most important agrument. (after rereading my post, I dont know how I failed to mention this).
Late in tournaments, the blinds:stack ratio dictates your play. Basically, the decent, good and great players are making a lot of the same plays, simply because of the pot size and their stacks.
This tends to blur skill.
This is NOT true in cash games or early in tournaments. As such, cash games are far and away the better skill determinant.
