Fixed that for you
No, it was a problem when people were reading the "real" HP values of bosses in the days before the percentage was displayed in-game. As the information wasn't provided by the UI, it was never meant to be a major component of raid strategies. This was also back in the Second Coil days, when things besides DPS still mattered.

As I said before, reading DPS on it's own isn't the issue. But feel free to get defensive about why you parse, and even why you need to be sure where to point fingers when the group fails. That's A+ teamwork right there.
