Would showing a single game of skill where Mat is incorrect be enough to disprove The Sklansky Poker Skill Argument? If so I hereby lay claim to be the first to disprove your theorum.

No. We are talking about arguments to persuade juries. Not logic theorems. The point of the argument is to show that games where luck seems to predominate can still be games of much skill. Because that fact is masked by the close equality of skill among practitioners. But even if it takes a long time for great skill to show, the necessity of skill can also be demonstrated by pointing out how quickly lack of skill shows.
