Isn't the value of a skill in direct relation to how

use?

I always use the skills that I've acquired over the decades.

While I find that hard to believe, this really wasn't about you,
was it?

That depends on what you meant by "...how much *you* get to apply
it" in your above statement. I typically regard the term "you" in
that context as a reference to me, which would make your comment
really about me.

Correct, the question was posed to you, but not about your skills, if any.
It's a general discussion about skills, not your skills.
