"Too cynical", the M61 20mm Vulcan was apparently also considered during
the
evaluation and you appear to forget that all the results of the
evaluation
would ultimately be judged by the Air Force JSF office.

Which suggests that the initial 'order of merit' after assessing how
well the competitors met the stated requirement was: first, BK 27,
second GAU-12/U, third M61A2.

No, it suggests that the group that actually had a "choice" in cannon
selection (Boeing) may have missed it as badly as they did with the rest of
their JSF proposal.
