Parsing unfair but okay?

[Kaurhz]

They really aren't using a fallacy. In the ACT video from Yoshi-P, he literally uses calculators and Excel as similar examples where people could ask if they are "third party tools".


So, how would you figure out the going average, above average, and best are doing without a parser?

Yes because in effect they both adhere to the the same purpose in that they're calculating output damage. The main distinction between is that one directly reads that data from the game, and with Excel you're just copying and pasting the data from the chat log into Excel and then running macros.

Unless we've suddenly come upon a case scenario where Discord is more than just a text/voice chat application and expands into something that directly reads from the game then it will remain a logical fallacy.
