Finesse and throwing

Is there a reason Finesse doesn't speed up throwing attacks? (blowguns aside) There's nothing to indicate this is so in the ability description nor in the knowledge bots. I even looked at the wiki which, not surprisingly, says that it does speed them up.

Probably because throwing has always been the red-headed stepchild of the attack skills.

Maybe it just gets the ammo there quicker.

Jory screams, "No, no!" before exploding into a cloud of blood!
