I disagree with your preconceptions about the “anti” prefix. For example, an anti-hero is certainly a hero. I think it is reasonable to consider “anti” a contextually overloaded semantic negater whose scope does not have to be the naive interpretation: anti-X can refer to “opposite of X” or “opposite or lacking of a trait highly correlated with X” with the exact choice clear from context.
Hm, yes. “anti” can and is used in that way. I agree. But as always the readings of a word are disambiguated by context. And here I’m not so sure. But OK, I can live with anti-skill.

It feels good knowing you changed your mind in response to my rebuttal.
