Just because I can't tune BRZEdit doesn't mean I don't appreciate the small increase in power.

I don't have to understand the workings to see a benefit. Having said that there is no guarantee at my level I would see a benefit. That remains to be seen.
My point was more, if you don't know how to communicate what you're looking for, or know what you're looking for, I don't see the benefit.

This isn't meant as an attack, but if you can't figure out to put on the stock suspension or access other data to find stock Weight Distribution, can you really talk about hysteresis, where the "knee" is in the valving, etc.

In reality, amateurs like us that may be quicker than most guys at a track day, typically still don't have the skills/feel, testing, etc, to spec dampers. It becomes kind of a "street cred" thing on what you spent.
