    It's not doctoring something to look at a question beyond face value.

    The request innocent enough. 'Show me a group that's cleared this content without Healers dealing damage.' While I'm certain that of the thousands of clears, there might be one, I frankly don't want to sift through every single available log (And those are only a fraction of the actual clears), to find it. Be honest, would you?

    So from the start, you are given a request that is inherently -weighted- against you. As another example of what a weighted request is, show me a United States President that's a woman, or show me a United States President of Japanese descent.

    So while finding such an example of the obviously weighted request would not only be a highly inefficient use of time, it might not yield fruit to begin with.

    Thus we take another approach. We see if the scenario could exist based on existing factual data. And it can. It may even exist in some undocumented log as it is, but without a record we can't prove that.

    So in the absence of being able to provide a documented example of the ludicrously weighted request, we simply show a scenario, backed by statistics and data, showing that it could exist were the criteria being met.

    If that's spindoctoring, well.

    Alright, guilty then I guess.
