Maybe. But if you take it to the opposite extreme, postulating that a person who picks up a non-Art, non-Sports pistol for the first time in one's life is supposed to have a skill at DX, you have pretty much stepped into a system that is nothing like the way GURPS Defaults works (and the intent was to reality-test the latter).
