... the big fish bites on my hook at random rather than the guy standing next to me... but skilled fishermen will always outfish the lucky fisherman.

Car crashes are random too... perhaps. A drunk driver randomly head-ons the person pulling out of the shopping mall along side of me ... lucky for me I guess ... but maybe my aquired driving skills taught me not to jump the light that just turned green and wait for the red light runners to go by?
