I agree with Mike Z on throw teching in GG:

In ST and VS if both characters throw on the same frame it's also random,
but because the nature of how teching works, the loser usually techs out
automatically and suffers less damage (unless it was a grapple like
Blanka's bite).

In GG, it's completely random and can lead to OTG combos.

What I don't understand is how he can be against OS, but for 1-button
throws which are inherently Option Selects.  I believe that throws should
be a conscious, intentional move.  I don't care if they are zero frame, but
if you go for a throw and miss, you should be left in a punishable state
just like any other move.  1-button throws aren't a major issue on their
own, but in a game where 50-50 situations are so common, I think untechable
OS'd throws that lead to combos and then oki isn't a good design choice.
