Are you really "skipping" a chunk in the interval?

I thought that "git bisect skip" is a way for you to respond, when
"git bisect" gave you a commit to test, saying "sorry, I cannot test
that exact version, please offer me something else to test".  And
each time you say that, you are not narrowing the search space in
any way, so it is understandable that the numver of candidate bad
commits will not decrease.
