Because I'm pretty sure I already did it, and even if I didn't I can tell you the outcome, even with the "relic shuriken" it wont be worth using.
I'll just point out once again that your math insists on perfect melee gear which not everyone has yet, and throwing gear is way, almost ridiculously easier to get than the level of melee gear required.

Also in your tests you have made three notable 'adjustable' errors, which bring it closer.

You're still right in terms of what you meant to prove, you just proved it under conditions you consider to be 'standard' when they are in fact 'optimal' on one side, and despite your noted and appreciated attempts to make them optimal on the other side too, not quite so.

This post is more for other people so they know you didn't actually prove 'melee always wins' you proved 'absolute best melee always wins'. Some people don't have that yet, and some people don't have time for it or aren't aiming for it.

You can fault people for THAT of course, I'll stay out of that.
