Not in this case.  Black Lightnin' always required a separate skill.  When 
2nd edition came out and all of the Throwin' skills were tossed and 
replaced with Balanced vs. Unbalanced, it was . . . implied. . . that BL 
would remain a separate Throwin' skill - mostly due to play balance 
considerations.

I found a Great Depression cookbook - I figure that not too many recipes 
could be too different.
