You can, and indeed MUST take each roll as an individual statistic.

The chances to hit the "1" x times in a row does decrease exponentially.
1x = 1/6
2x = 1/6 * 1/6 = (1/6)^2
3x = 1/6 * 1/6 * 1/6 = (1/6)^3
However, the discussion is silly, skillgains come in waves, as i pointed out before, which especially applies to the more rare ones. And 6 times in a row doesn't mean there were other skillgains in between, at least that's how i read it.
So, could we please stop splicing hairs?
