Everything you have stated is purely opinion, so please stop stating it as fact. "You should," "my own experiences," "confirm what you should already know," etc. All of these are 100% subjective and personal statements. There is nothing factual or even objective there. I do not need to justify myself to you and simultaneously my experiences are, quite clearly, completely different from yours.

Group parsers are not for "absolutely" making judgments, however, in your mind, they absolutely are.
Go play WoW. Get a damage meter & deadly boss mods. Fight a raid boss with no addons. Fight a raid boss only using the damage meter a few times. Fight a different raid boss with deadly boss mods. I guarantee you'll do better on the boss with deadly boss mods than you do on the bosses without.

I'm not being closed minded, I'm just pointing out you would benefit from something like deadly boss mods. For you in your example, the parser is just patting you on the back. And I say this because every time you run a fight you should improve because you are learning from your mistakes during the previous fights. Practice makes perfect as they say. Deadly boss mods gives you a heads up on mechanics so you can better avoid making mistakes. A parser doesn't do this.

And I'm sorry, but you're just being naive if you think you aren't being judged on your parses.
