If for example you check the logs and see that the SCH only used Recitation twice in the entire 8-10 minute fight then you know there's something seriously wrong. But if all you do is look at dps and call it a day then you might as well not look at logs at all.
Yeah but let's be real here. Most people by far only look at the player's summary page which shows percentile of DPS with no details.

And when people on the savage/ultimate recruiter discord set their requirements, it's a minimum of X percentile. Circumstances aren't really taken into account. But, to be fair, if you've cleared a fight enough times, you should have had at least one good clear...

You can say "oh it's just bad groups that do this", but it's not really, even decent or good ones will do this. Probably with the expectation that you'll have done a parse run at some point.
