No, I'm pointing out how that phrase is a fallacy and leads to confusion.
If everyone is so skilled no one is skilled -> means everyone is still normal so that defeats the purpose of asking what is too skilled for a character.
Being too skilled is something the masses cannot possess as it refers to something a singular entity posses (hence "too" skilled). If they do it's no longer too skilled but the average. The entire population can not be too skilled at something and still be equal.
Here I'll post an example.
Tim and Jimmy are both normal people with basic knowledge of sword fighting. Dave comes in and beats both Tim and Jim at the same time. Dave is too skilled for Tim and Jimmy.
Now Tim and Jimmy catch up and can stalemate Dave one on one. Now nobody is skilled right? Incorrect because here comes Tommy who beats all three now equally skilled people in a sword fight.
Being too skilled is like a ladder. There's no such thing as everyone being equal in skill at one point in time, because there's always a way or person who can andhas surpassed that cap.
It's like comparing the stuff in DBZ to anime in general, and then tossing Superman in the mix aka the famous (and painfully one sided) Superman vs Goku . It's a fallacy.
