And skill is nothing more than a poor substitute for luck. People train countless hours to do something consistently that, if probability worked in your favor, you'd manage to do consistently anyway. Darts or bowling are great examples. You can practice, practice, and practice, but if you were absurdly lucky you wouldn't need that practice.

But that only applies to physical abilities, I guess. If you need an specific knowledge to do something, and you don't have it, luck won't simply implant it inside your head. At best, you could get away with not knowing by having someone teaching you or doing it for you.
