Jeez dude, your attitude here is incredibly unhelpful. Proper data analysis requires starting with a hypothesis before running any calculations. And, like, I get it, you're being attacked and ganged up on, and it's human to feel defensive about that. But I had hoped I had demonstrated enough good faith that you would be willing to enage with me.

When I started preliminary analysis, I was expecting results consistent with the "damage interval" concept, which would involve 20 unique damage values, where the distribution across those values is a function of the relative attack and defense values. Out of ~240 hits, I found ~110 unique values, so my mental model is incorrect. I could type up a lot more about why it's important to do preliminary hypothesis checking like this, but I know you'd just disregard it.

Sorry bud, but I'm done with you.
You are taking this wildly out of context. I am simply saying you can use the formulas and data to see what is going on. There is no need to add extra complexity and confusion at this point by answering your questions.

If you are doing this in good faith, you would not assume I am being mean to you in some manner. I honestly am not.
