You can easily convince a group of successful people that skill predominates over luck in any occupation in the long run, since they all believe it is skill that got them to where they are. I'm fairly sure life is governed predominantly by luck, from beginning to end.

Interesting response. Would you not agree though, that it is not the sole factor or luck that creates the successful outcome. That it is the experience and being prepared, which I would personally attribute as elements of the skill factor, when met with the "lucky" opportunity creates the formula for success that is clearly not equal throughout.
