Sure, what you state is true, flowing water moves things, and skimmer flow moves upwards, but all this is not really relevant in discussing how skimmers operate, that is, how they concentrate material and how things end up in the collection cup. If by chance a particle is caught in the flow, it could end up in the collection cup. And if this chance occurrence is what you are talking about, then OK!
