You misunderstood my point. The answer to my (rhetorical) question was "skilled players" not "video game players."
This is because it is indeed obvious that this is a video game context. I was not referencing the type of player rather a general assumption of skill. Even the people above who would rate themselves as "mediocre" are probably a lot better than the average person and maybe the average gamer because they have a strong enough passion for their hobby to be on a video game-related website in the first place. It's much like going to a track meet and asking competitors there if they are good at track and field. You should have a good idea of the answer before you ask the question.
Now, the next time you read a response and decide to react negatively, take a step back and ask the other poster for clarity on what they posted before doing so. You stepped out of your own question's context because you mistakenly believed that I did.
