You can pretty much say if you fail T8, it's totally not about scoring low on parsing but you're parsing lower as a result for failing T8.

T8 maybe a big fat training dummy, but it still has mechanics.

So much strawman worthy of elitism.
I think their point about T8 as an example is that if you are going in there with even slightly too low DPS, you've lost before start. And it would be heartbreaking to nail all the phases perfectly, only to enrage because someone who had no knowledge of their DPS was doing 100 lower than everyone else.
