Wasn't if Phil who said something to the effect of, "If it wasn't for luck, I'd win every hand!" Which seems pretty much the thesis of this writing (though without the arrogance); ultimately resolving in, process as a better indicator of skill than results, and the best deduction of process in luck skewed results is consistency over time which essentially requires more data to deduce.

For what it's worth, people have studied what appears to be subject to a lot of random chance to me, a non expert - fantasy sports, and found skill plays a significant role and this study references poker studies if you have more interest.
