This is what I meant in my reference to "cheating", if scouting is set to have an error factor, and then this is negated in the reports, then I might as well have scouting turned off?

I don't wish to complicate the issue, but I think it's necessary to clarify a point that you very well might be confused by. Sometimes there is a discrepancy between what you'll see in the reports and what you see on another screen.
Here's one thread about the issue (pay particular attention to lighthousekeeper's post about raw and derived ratings), but there are several other threads where many people have continuously expressed their confusion.
What should happen, however, is if you are using scouts then all screens and reports should report the same ratings as long as they're from the same time. Maybe one day we'll see this truly fixed and not just told it's fixed or it's a design decision which only leads to more confusion. For now, however, I recommend ignoring the raw ratings in favour of the derived, if you can remember which screens contain which that is. That, or play without scouts as I do.
If you do still want to analyze these ratings outside of the game then my link in my first post should still help you. Just pick the right reports to look at.
EDIT: Note that
Markus said that it was fixed in the last patch. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that people are still seeing differences however.
