No, but it does dismantle your assault on my credibility. But let's stop this invective side-bar before we get too far off topic.
You don't nerf a job just to bring it in line with the rest of the jobs that perform that same role.
Isn't that what the thread is about? Hypothetical nerfs to Warriors? It isn't happening (that we know of), so there's no need to get upset, it's just what I'd do with it.
You don't strip utility from one to make another feel better, you give the ones that are lacking something that will bring them up to par without making them a copy/paste of each other with different names and animations.
Who said anything about copy-paste? And who said anything about taking utility away? I said to give it to them, so they also have it.

WAR doesn't need to be touched, it's in a good spot with what it's been given and is able to perform either role (MT or OT) to a high standard. The only reason it's a "requirement" is because people are still trying to push content at a lower gear level than what SE had intended for the instance to be run at. Everything a WAR brings to the table can be gained from other raid compositions. Tank DPS will be slightly lower, but in the hands of a skilled player it will still be competitive.

People are complaining that World Firsts didn't take a PLD but they're not looking at the fact that this was being done due to how undergeared they were at the time and honestly, most of the people who are complaining the hardest probably don't even touch Savage at all.
This is a hypothetical, devil's advocate thread. Just because we're entertaining the idea of WAR nerfs doesn't mean anyone posting here actually thinks they should be nerfed (though some of us probably do).
