Machamp close combat vs dynamic punch

This site always puts dynamic punch as a strictly better charge move than close combat for a machamp. However, when I run a machamp vs tyranitar through the pokebattler simulation it shows me beating the tyranitar faster with close combat than dynamic punch. Am I missing something? The image is a little hard to head but I show both cases in it.

2 things:

First, timing matters. Go over the combat logs and you may see that DP machamp dies at 25 energy, losing efficiency, whereas CC machamp lands his CC right before he dies.

Second, in a pure dps race DP wins. Also in raids a 50E move allows you to be a little conservative on when you dodge and attack without wasting DPS.

I ran the simulation of machamp vs magikarp as a raid 5 boss. It shows DP outperforming CC.
