If you don't want to take the time to show that your Yamato is breaking the known rules, by actually noting things down in a controlled environment instead of relying on your memory to give you a biased reconstruction of the facts, why should anyone give you the time of day? Even if you never expected to see a difference, you certainly do now so even if you have an experience that contradicts your view, it'll quickly be forgotten in favor of the times Yamato did get those sick crits and Musashi didn't. This is exactly the kind of thing that led to widespread beliefs that Echelon is a good night battle formation when the real, recorded data says no, it's not, and it's actually much worse than some others. There are so many dicerolls that go on in battle that relying on people's impressions is a terrible way to establish fact. So even if there is some truth, some hidden mechanic you're seeing here, a report like this will always draw my ire.

On top of that, your setups for Yamato and Musashi are so different that there's a number of factors, like different cutin types, AP shell bonuses, level, morale, variance of target stats, and more, that could be contributing to actual differences that you basically seem to be attributing to one piece of equipment only.
