Without comparison there's no improvement.

And really? Making it an offense to demand someone's numbers? This game really is a terrible DPS's dream come true. This is basically asking that DPS shouldn't be held accountable for their performance. Oh, we are wiping to enrage? Just imagine consistently hitting enrage on a raid because one of the DPS is doing 2500, and when you ask them for their numbers, they report you and you get a warning/suspension. Fantastic.
The intent is to make quantifiable data available to those who want to improve. Not MAKING people improve. This isn't about shaming people into improving because OMG lookit your low numbers compared to everyone else. This is about giving people a tool to measure themselves if they want to.

If you ask someone "hey, we're not making the DPS check on this encounter, can everyone post their parser log so we can figure out where to shore up?" you will not get warned or suspended because you didn't DEMAND anything. However if someone says "no" you'll have to respect that and leave them alone. Now..you can make it a requirement for your static/PF that logs are posted and then everyone who doesn't want to participate in that level of play can just not join.

That all sounds pretty reasonable to me.
