Is this some kind of trick question? Skin effect exists in any conductor
carrying AC. Including GND. In fact, why not just call the trace ground and
the plane the signal... isn't it all relative? ;-)
Curious to hear your response...

We all know what the skin effect is on a trace. And we all know the
return signal path is on the plane directly under the trace.
The question is, is there a corresponding skin effect on the ground plane?
