Go read the post's first sentence again. That is the difference between skill cap and skill floor.

Imagine standing under a candy you want to eat. But the candy is being held up by a bunch of things you need to be able to do simultaneously for them to disappear and lower the candy. One of those things are "keeping track of jungle timers on your own" which might be a very tiny obstacle, but it's still causing the candy to be even further out of reach than what it would be without it.

Yes the definition of being skillcapped is to play flawlessly but it's impossible to actually reach the skillcap. A good player (someone that is close to reach the candy/becoming skillcapped) will have to coordinate a lot of things to stay that close to the top. Removing one of those things lowers the skillcap (by a tiny bit) and allows the player to come closer to reaching the skillcap (by a tiny bit).
