Point well taken. I believe that the same could be said of the Spitfire during the BoB. The Hurricane had more than an adequate performance to take on anything the Luftwaffe could throw at it, and with the use of RADAR it could always be expected to be in the right place at the right time. Add in the huge tactical blunders made by the German High Command along with the superiority of the average British pilot and there's no reason to ever imagine any other possible outcome of the battle.
The Hurricane was out-classed by the Bf 109 in the BoB.
British pilots were not superior to German pilots in the BoB. British pilots didn't have much training or experience at the time, while many (most?) of the Luftwaffe's pilots had combat experience - in the battle for France, Belgium, etc, in the invasion of Poland and some had experience from the Spanish Civil War.
Tactically the British had some advantages - such as radar warning, and the fact that pilots that bailed out and survived landed on home soil. But they also employed some questionable tactics, such as the "big wing", which took so long to form up that when they were able to engage, the enemy had already dropped their bombs and headed for home.
