Skirmishers are not light infantry, they're ranged infantry, so musketeers don't have a bonus against them. The reason they beat skirmishers in melee is because they deal over twice the damage, they have 20% melee resistance and more hitpoints.

The light infantry tag is for units like the coyote runner, rattan shield and tiger claw. They are characterized by being like heavy cavalry units: high speed, ranged resistance and melee attack, but they don't get shredded so easily by anticav units
