No youre conflating how you define the word "skill" with the actual definition. It's absolutely unfortunate but just means you didn't go to school to get the job.
There are plenty of jobs that don't require a college degree but require a lot of skills. Would you consider an electrician to be unskilled labor? I don't know anyone who would. But if you can perform all the duties of your job after some simple instructions then that's usually considered unskilled labor.
Yes I would because that's how the terms are defined. It doesn't mean it doesn't require skill, it just means that's how some nitwit decided to divide the categories.
Edit: to be exceptionally clear, these categories have NOTHING to do with how you define the word "skill". I didn't pick the words, but you can't force it to fit a definition of skill because this is the accepted meaning. Sorry.
Defined by whom? Merriam-Webster lists the definition I was using as the official definition.

I may have responded to you without reading carefully enough. It seems we are in fact making the same point on the reread.
