This may be the best point of all the arguments. You can be against parsers, OK. But if you've read any topic about your class (BiS, rotations, stat weights, etc), watched any video guide about your class or even about a particular instance, then you've been affected, if not utterly guided, by the help of parse data. This is a fact that can not be simply brushed under the rug and ignored in any argument against them.
