This is wrong, and the devs actually put out an apology post explaining their paper calculations after overtuning a fight. They admitted to taking the numbers their teams were capable of reaching, and adding percentage points based on what they felt the actual players were capable of. Literally paper-calculations.

Feel free to reference this where they've stated the overtuning came from paper-calculations, might be the first time we actually get a real piece of evidence behind these statements.

Edit: Re-reading your statement actually I realize this doesn't prove anything wrong. You said yourself, "They admitted to taking the numbers their teams were capable of reaching" and then applied a percentage to that. So you're saying they did do in-game testing and balancing, but then on-top of that they proceeded to make the mistake of adding a % increase.

Meanwhile, I was asked to try and somehow come up with an arbitrary value of a pretend raidwide damage for a party we have no context on. That's totally the same situation (/s)
