Well, there is even another indication.
IIRC, Tub has modified the chance to use the Jab attack for act2 hirelings to 100 percent before carrying out his tests. In an unmodified game, that chance is varying with both the type of the merc and his level (from ~50 percent to almost 100 percent). For some easier testing and due to the fact, that people would especially need information for high-level hirelings (with usually very high chances to use Jab), this small change made things a lot easier.
That is why you will always see the description "Jab" in the calculator's skill field when choosing act2 mercenaries. Well, and what did Worgus (or his mysterious friend) do? They just ignored that fact and still got the very same tables. Strange, isn't it?
Oh, and why are there "half-frames" in the tables? I think, the first part of the Jab attack uses the animation of the normal attack (similar to Strafe or Zeal, for instance). So, if this very first part is accelerated and the "rest" of the attack isn't, you can try to approximate that by such a "half-frame scaling". At least, that is what Tub has tried.
