We can see this as Jesus promising to make a special effort to provide the evidence that more skeptical people need. I think that is what you are saying?
What makes you think Thomas' answer could not apply to you?
On the other hand, I have read that the story of doubting Thomas may have been invented by the writers of the gospel of John to denigrate sects that admired Thomas (such as people who valued the Gnostic teachings in the Gospel of Thomas)?
