If you just meant that in general, yes that's true and the same applies to wearing a helmet. My point is that the skills are worth more, more effective, than the helmet. Anyone requiring a helmet should more logically be acquiring the skills.
Skills are certainly worth more than a helmet to avoid a crash... But stuff happens, a squirrel could run out in front of you and get stuck in the spokes and over you go... A helmet then could also certainly be worth it's weight in gold when head hits the ground...
