Caliban's Hand's does not consistently work against Scorched targets (and enhanced Proximity Knife does not completely count as melee damage)

Before I get into the inconsistencies, I want to address that I will divide this into 2 sections. One section is to the inconsistency I believe is not intentional. The second section is where I will put the stuff that is questionable. With the recent change to Matadoxia and Lethal Current not triggering Combination Blow being considered a bug it makes me rethink whether or not some things are intentional or not since the exotic enhances the melee but those enhancements are not treated as a melee ability unlike similar enhancements. --- I'll start with the more clear issue. Caliban's Hand does not consistently Ignite enemies on Proximity Knife defeats if they are Scorched. This can happen on its own kills from knife detonations since they apply Scorch to targets. Enemies killed by the exploding portion of the melee do not consistently Ignite or trigger Knock Em Down even if it is clear that the Knife was the source of the kill. Enemies that are scorched by any source available to a Caliban's Hand user will sometimes not Ignite on a kill from the actual thrown knife portion of the damage nor will it trigger Knock Em Down. --- Now for the one that may or may not be intentional. Scorch/Ignitions from the exotic do not count as melee damage. Ignitions not counting may be an intentional choice to prevent Ignition chaining on every kill. However the Scorch not counting is ultimately what is likely leading to the first issue. When compared to the additive properties of Matadoxia detonations counting as actual melee damage it makes me question whether or not it was a bug or not which is why I wanted to bring it up. The exotic also does not get a benefit from Ember of Ashes and has 60 Scorch with and without the fragment. Though once again this may be intentional but doesn't feel like the limitation is needed since if it did work it would likely be hitting 90 Scorch due to remain 1:1 with Knife Trick.
