For sure, atomic weapons bring out the "moral relativism" and "history re-writers" from their hiding places.
"Oh it's BAD to kill someone with an atom bomb!" No, it's bad to kill someone with ANY bomb!
"They should have embargoed Japan until they surrendered!" That means no food, mass starvation and millions of horrible deaths. Not nice!
& etc.
Skinny Man would have been a 'rail trigger' bomb the same as Little Boy, except with plutonium not uranium. Trinity was a uranium bomb with 'implosion trigger' like Fat Man which used plutonium. So two each of uranium/plutonium & rail/implosion. Except they ran out of plutonium & could only build 3.
