I did not mistake your post at all. You were saying BA might not win this matchup and perhaps its even, I also believe it could very well be even. The reason I didn't bother further is because you listed online flowchart adams who keep doing one option even when you counter it consistently and bring these into determining a matchupLet's just do some maths here.
BG's bola cancel->forward dash is about 30 frames total to the completion of the dash. This is tested b/c I was trying out other vortex options w/ her, and she can't be Lex charged after hit B2D3->bolacancel->forward dash. I think 21 bolacancel forward dash worked too, but I'd have to test it again to say it with certainty.
Backdash is a little slower, but she's moving back instead of forward, so hey that's more frames of travel.
Far boot stomp is 17 frames startup, plus travel time. Jumping diagonal is 4 frames start up. So you're already at 21 at least. How good's your reaction time?
Oh yeah:
So, let's give your reaction time at 14f. That's 35 frames, not including travel time (which isn't something they give data for).
So I just don't buy your Instant Air divekick blowing up dash canceled bolas unless you're doing it in anticipation or already jumping... but oh yeah:
I'm done here. FYI: if you put up a MU chart and specifically ask for detailed input, don't be dismissive of what other people have to say. People are GOING to disagree with you. That's the point of the thing.
I'm not coming at this from the angle "hurr durr BA sucks" obviously he's really great. I just don't think BG has a disadvatage in this fight and other BG's don't think so either.

And told me that I can't go by blockstrings and damage when these are the exact strengths of Adam in this matchup. So basically telling me I can't bring my character's strengths to determine this MU number?
The only way bola and cancel are 30f is if bola is 15f and you cancel it right to the frame.
Also, BA will of course be looking for bolas just like BG will be looking for lightning. There is no such thing as a matchup number where both characters aren't looking to punish something.
I didn't doubt you as a player or doubt your intelligence, I'm saying that you didn't come off as knowing how to discuss matchups.
edit: IAD has barely any travelling time and BA can just black magic instead but it's an inferior option.
