P4S part 2, for example, Reaper is 8,134 DPS and Monk is 8,129. And this is a pattern that repeats across all floors, in no case is the gap between the two jobs "hundreds" and additionally, the only fights of the five as fflogs has them divided where monk is ahead of reaper are P2 and P4 part 1.

Obviously the devs think one thing, you think another. However the only opinion of the two that matters is the devs, and they think this gap shouldn't be so close. So monk got a less than 1% buff to its damage.
You like to cherry pick? P1 using the site you're referring to mnk is 9423.6 v rpr 9161.2
P2 monk 9091.9 v rpr 8861.2
P3 monk 9506.8 v 9314.4

Monk is number one on every floor.
