Seems to be linked to decision making. Do you continue to cast a spell knowing something is coming up that you need to dodge or do you cancel the cast and prepare to dodge? Decision made, skill associated with dodging. Ever notice that certain members in your group die more often than others? If dodging were not a skill, they would either all die or all live. People seem to think dodging is not a skill because it is more heavily influenced by other factors. Does that suddenly make it not a skill, though? No.

Decision making is a huge part of many classes/jobs in this game. Your ability to make informed decisions is what I would consider skill. Your ability to move out of something you know is coming is, therefore, a skill.
Kettle seemed to oppose decision making to dexterity, as well as Ttan EX to other fights. Therefore, I assumed the meant something other than decision making. But thank you for trying.
She also said that you did not need to know the fight by heart to win it which would imply that you don't need to know what is coming before it actually happens.
