People clear turn 9 without parsers, so it's obvious that they don't need far more than can be gleaned from the combat window alone.

Since everyone gets to make these absurd analogies showing why parsers are "required." I'll toss an absurd analogy out there too. Let's look at bicycle racing, you can draw your own blood, oxygenate it and inject it right before a race. It's you own blood, and everyone's body already oxygenates your blood, that's why you have lungs. All you are doing is using what you already have to increase your performance. There is no 100% they can prove you did this, so why doesn't everyone do it? Simple answer, it is against the rules, Lance Armstrong can attest to that.
