I think that's overgeneralizing things to say 2 people with equal skill, Thorn wins. Two people with equal skill meet all the time and Thorn doesn't always win. This whole TTK argument assumes a high noon showdown that doesn't happen. If I have 3rd Eye on a pulse and an shooting first, if I have final round or luck in the chamber on a HC with more impact, if I have Full Auto and Hidden Hand on a scout. That all shifts and takes away from Thorn's advantage.
