That’s quite debatable. A quick check of BVR kills vs WVR kills will show an overwhelming overhang for WVR. Even with AMRAAMs.

Really? Point me at a site. I was pretty sure WVR was a thing of the past, but this is no the first time I have been wrong (it would be the 2nd).

I am not challenging you, I am perplexed. The F-22, although designed to kick ass in dogfights, was mostly designed to perform BVR with many targets (hopefully that limitation is lifted with this version of the venerable F-16 Falcon).
