In thinking about it--my analogy could be better chosen, especially since skeuomorphism (which many, hold is the opposite of flat design) is embodied in wood-paneling. The idea was that totally flat things will look dated at some point. My point was that it will look "dated" but that irony is not lost on me.
I don't personally think Skeuomorphism is the opposite of flat design, I think of it more as "realism" as the opposite pole. Skeuomorphsim is less about perspective and distance and more about textural materials or design artifacts.
