An alternative to parsing?

I'm not arguing that, nor do I disagree with that statement. What I said was that if the entire party played at your level, you would have failed the duty. That means you failed equivalency. That is not an opinion or a POV. That is a mathematical fact.

Honestly this is the standard that I judge myself by. I think expecting anything less of myself is basically expecting too much of others. If I knew I was playing at a level that would lead to failure if the entire party was on that level and didn't bother to do anything about it then that goes with the assumption that I would expect everyone else to play better to compensate. I don't think this is a particularly unreasonable mindset at all although it makes quite a few people in the community uncomfortable.
