I suggest this for everyone to do. This isn't a difficult thing to figure out. It can even be eye balled and I find it surprising that people just sit around on their butts waiting for people to figure crap out for them and when they come here to kindly give you the correct information you debunk it. As if you are out there doing the testing and arn't a loser of a player.
Your tests prove nothing (other than that STR apparently outperforms ATK on Ifrit). You only assume your findings mean what you're proposing, but you could be completely off. You don't know what the damage formula looks like and you don't know the stats of the enemies you've fought, so it's a nice hypothesis, but by no means proven.
