The number you want to look at is rDPS, because that is the number that matters. BRD's rDPS is higher than DNC's rDPS. BRD's rDPS is more consistent than DNC's rDPS. BRD's rDPS is more reliable than DNC's rDPS. Regardless of how much you want to ignore that because it hurts your whinging, DNC, even with the 1,500+ rDPS it can bring, is still below BRD's total rDPS contribution.

Where are we arguing that we want BRD to have less utility and more personal damage? Do you actually read things before you respond to them? I've said repeatedly I want it to have more support brought back, but, of course, you blatantly ignore my posts because they defeat your arguments. Where is Saito arguing that they want BRD to remain a more "selfish physical ranged"? Nowhere. They're saying to be careful about asking for more utility, simply because the developers design utility jobs with a heavy damage tax in mind - something that plagues the job you are blinded by hatred by (DNC) and NIN. And DNC is in far more trouble than BRD because of that. We've already explained why repeatedly, but BRD is definitely the most comfy of the two and the most reliable in terms of raid contribution. DNC is more reliant on their dance partner than BRD ever was on something like piercing.

How in the heck is Saito attacking you? Attacking the flaws in your argument is absolutely not the same as attacking you as a poster. It's pointing out that your argument is flawed and weak. Perhaps because you keep cherry-picking and ignoring the data right in front of you, insisting instead that posters are lying because they won't risk linking to FFLogs - by the way, you haven't been banned because no one has reported you. ForteNightshade already brought up Dervy, who is a well-known theorycrafter and who did stat weights back in HW. They were banned for linking to the site, not once, but 4 times. Their post was reported enough to earn them 4 bans at the same time.

You are the one that don't get it. The rank of rDPS for DNC even if in dead last, the score is 89 compare to its aDPS at 77.
Bard on another hand, it's rDPS is ranked at 90 from its aDPS at 88. Therefore Bard gives minimal raid party buff damage, while all the buff clearly mostly go through DNC instead. Hence SE stole identity just for DNC to have its place like in Q/A.

Look at the definition, and you can still say that difference in scores mean nothing and DNC do not give dmg buffs more than bard. You are the one who is unable to interpret the data.
