Assuming you're in open space (it cant be anywhere else since you didn't mention any bounces), [...] Now lets take your example and put you inside an enclosure where the shraps can actually do 190 dmg:
Even if you do put yourself in a position to avoid the 8 (10 dmg) shrapnels when they come out, you arent protecting yourself from what is actually dangerous - the bounces that are about to compound the shrap damage by 1900%. In truth you were better off hitting them before they bounced. With all this said, I don't see your point, at all.
"Also, players can deliberately run through a bomb's prox to lower the damage taken by forcing the bomb to do some pb damage (esp against thors with its huge blast radius), but it's pretty situational (the bomb needs to be close to the shooter relative to its blast radius), and often times maybe it's more so the shooter making a bad choice of when to bomb than any reaction on the defender's part"
I know this, but what does it have to do with the discussion at hand?

i must be misunderstanding you, or you are misunderstanding how shraps work in this zone. i added the second part because it's not always clear that "closer to the bomb = more damage, further from the bomb = less damage"
