If A cause B, and B cause C, then A causes C. Would you also say that the Girdle of Hill Giant Strength doesn't improve melee Thac0 and damage because it only improves Strength?

The only case where DUHM doesn't improve thieving skills is if you go up from Dex 13 to 15. A good thief would have a high Dex score anyway, for example, from the BG2 companions, Jan has the lowest dex score of 17.

And Dex affects all thief skills except one which could be replicated anyway by True Sight, etc. It's the other thief skills that matter more.

Even if you regard it as "indirect and conditional", most of the time, DUHM improves thief skills.
