You make a good point -- the Armory doesn't show skill, it only shows gear, so you can't really skill-check people the way you can gear-check them.
But I would say that the takeaway here is that if someone comes to you in just a few epics and says "I know the fights," you shouldn't have reason to turn them away. Sure, they could be lying, and sure, they could slow you down, but we place way too much emphasis on gear (his other post, which states that even Legendary gear only gives you about a 40% upgrade, is really interesting) and not nearly enough on experience and skill.
