In my humble opinion being a total winner is a rare occurence.  It happens
almost exclusively to people who have played enough rogue to a) learn to
not make any stupid mistakes and b) get lucky (with the game essentially 
controlled by a RNG winning is ultimately determined by luck).  In other
words by the time you are a good enough player to win your skill is no
longer the controlling factor in the game - luck is.
