    Beating by a bare amount, and the entire parser is based off of the 2:3 ratio spread. So those numbers are hardly different. Also it's clear the trial was limited to a very small amount of battles.

    The point is they both simply increase damage done overall - minimum or maximum. The damage done is very comparable whether you increase your stats by 20 STR or by 30 Attack Power - they can be accepted as identical with the testing done showing the difference being low enough to be well in the standard deviation.

    On the other hand, I haven't seen any testing to support that one pushes the maximum while the other pushes the minimum - or anything of the sort.

    Granted. I'm just saying it doesn't support your base vs. peak model. Of course, more samples would make it more conclusive, but thus far it doesn't seem to be going your way.
