I already know he's slightly better than a std donk, so sure, fine, he's +EV in a live donkament. That doesn't mean he's actually any good.

What? Of course it means he is good. It certainly doesn't mean he is the best, but being better than average and being +EV in big buyin tournaments makes you at least good. Good is a relative term, and relative to the field, he is good. Perhaps relative to the best is he not good, but that is not a very good way of standardizing the abilities of poker players, it should obviously be in comparison to the average field you play against most often.
