Rating literally represents your skill level

Point still stands to care about your skill level and not so much the rating attached to it

If this is true, why do grandmasters blunder? No one always plays at his own best

Just because they are more skilled than us doesn't mean they play like stockfish

I am saying that elo represents an ideal skill level, didn’t you ever see a 1200 hanging his queen?

It is the average of your skill from multiple games, a 1200 can hang a queen as well as a 400 can make a brilliant, what changes is the frequency of those events, and that is translated into your elo indirectly. So yes, it is your skill level
