The words "accuracy" and "opponents armor" clearly suggest that the "auto-penetration" feature is referencing the ability to hit an opponent. Furthermore the word "always" strongly suggests that it is an over-ride to a hit calculation. In otherwords a Ninja throwing a weapon will not have to determine if it hits the opponent or not - it automatically hits the opponent.
Sorry to tell you but this statement is not correct. The ninja's auto-penetration ability does not mean he/she will hit the enemy. The Auto-penetration means that IF you hit, you will do damage and possibly a critical.

For example in my current pansy party i have a ninja. At Thrown range at least half of her weapons go flying off into the wild blue yonder. If she scores a hit it always does damage.

Another thing if the enemy has missle shield up, it will deflect the thrown weapons just as much as it deflects arrows or other missles.
