Explaining Silksong's Misleading Damage System

The research in this video aims to dissect the game’s nebulous damage and scaling conventions, and answer questions like:
• What is mathematically the best tool to use in the game against a certain enemy?
• How do percentage buffs like Flintslate perform in a game that only rounds to whole numbers?
• Why does a straight pin return 9 completely separate damage values on 9 different bosses?
• I just picked up a tool pouch. Why do I still only have 3 hand grenades?

Thanks to the Hollow Knight wiki and a few folks in their discord who helped me test numbers:
