Neither the Skyrocket nor the Galaxy S2 have Gorilla Glass.
I verified this from two different emails last week from Samsung (emphasis mine)
Dear Jon,
Thank you for your inquiry.
The Samsung Skyrocket (SGH-I727) does not feature the Gorilla glass. However, we assure you that the all
components of the phone passed the Samsung quality and is tested to withstand multiple different
conditions. It also features the Super AMOLED™ Plus Technology that enables users to interact with a phone
by touching images, words, or icons on the display.

Every article I've read since April 2011, and every product description for the Galaxy S2, said it has Gorilla Glass. THAT is what I believe.
I had an AT&T rep tell me that HSPA+ was faster than LTE, and that the Galaxy S2 (non-Skyrocket) was LTE ready. So, no, I don't believe everything a rep tells me. They don't know everything.

I guess I don't understand the willingness to believe external reviews or "feelings" over answers given by Samsung tech support

This is difficult...I almost didn't buy the phone because I "heard" it didn't have Gorilla glass...it sure feels and looks like the same glass on all of their gorilla glass phones...

Because Samsung tech support is often clueless.
I remember some info released some where that Corning said Skyrocket does not has Gorilla Glass. But I don't know how credible that info is.

Im my scratch test, I don't think the Skyrocket is made of Gorilla Glass because it scratches pretty easily. Check out the video here: http://youtu.be/ow-jmBBzLmI

Two different topic. Gorilla Glass (or not) is a protective layer on top of the Super AMOLED+ screen. With Gorilla Glass on top, the screen is more durable against common scratches. It has nothing to do with what screen display technology is used underneath.
