"I just looked up Parsimonious, (seriously, who uses that word?) and it means stingy. What does any of this have to do with money? How can an option be stingy? What on Earth makes you think I judge it based on whatever that happens to mean? I just want it to be right."

...https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/parsimony: "The principle of using the fewest resources or explanations to solve a problem."

Dude, stop being an asshole, okay?

"What are you talking about? This is a wiki. A Fan-made database of a certain topic. Someone had to type up that note at one point and I'm pretty sure it wasn't Bandai/Toei themselves. And if it was, then they can tell me how wrong I am, and I can tell them how stupid they are for thinking that the note makes sense."

This is a wiki written by fans, but we report what the canon says. We don't make executive decisions of our own based on "evidence".

Again, stop being an asshole.

"An attack that we know SkullGreymon has that is completely different from his famous missile attack Dark Shot/Ground Zero/Flame Rockets, where he breathes a purple smog that can paralyze opponents."

While it's possible that the infamously half-effort localizers decided to dig into obscure Digimon information to pull out an attack used in a single, unpopular game, it's not explicit, and it's not an obvious pattern of theirs. That's why we have the policy of doing 1:1 matching. If you disagree with the results of 1:1 matching, then the discussion needs to be on changing that policy of how the wiki interprets what the DDC are saying.

"Mikey then makes a joke by saying that it must "smell like Shoutmon after a burger with extra onions", and if I need to explain that joke to you, you either have the worst sense of humor ever and/or are the most oblivious person in the world."

Again, stop being an asshole.

"Through all evidence I have gathered:"

I'm not sure if you haven't noticed that I'm an admin, who keeps trying to tell you what the policy is instead of merely saying "I disagree with you and would prefer the page a different way", but I will try to remind you, once again, that a discussion of evidence is completely outside the scope of the project. We don't try to construct our own explanations for what's going on in the canon -- all we do is record what the canon explicitly is. If you want to change that, you don't do it by edit warring on an article and then being pissy on a talk page, you do it by starting a community discussion and getting consensus agreement to change policy.

Secondly, and I'm gonna be frank: a quick look at your message wall shows that you have a very bad track record of making decisions based on "the evidence you've gathered". You have a habit of inserting non-canon, fan-made information (or removing canon, cited information) whenever you seem to dislike what the canon is. This needs to stop, and if you want to continue with the project, you need to understand that this wiki will not be "What RayvenShade thinks the canon should be" -- it's going to be "what the canon says". If you disagree with another editor's interpretation of what the canon says, great, bring it up on the talk page, but you need to immediately stop making your own decisions on which canon to ignore and which fanon to include.

I will say, personally, that you're certainly not helping your effort to change policy by deliberately trying to misunderstand things and be rude. While a quick look at the DDC bits shows that the dub often has a different number of attacks than the original did, meaning there definitely is some level of discretion on the part of the localizers and on that basis I personally would be willing to support revising the policy accordingly, you still have to convince the majority of the community that your proposed revision is legitimate, and acting like you have been will definitely leave a bad taste in their mouths.
