If the player is never going to amount to anything at the major league level, then optimism is just going to decrease the accuracy and usefulness of the reports.
There will be losses because of false optimsm. Some prospects will not develop to their full potential because their promotions will be blocked since your scout is insisting that the player ahead of him is going to amount to something. There will be trades that won't be made of reluctance to trade prospects your scout tells you are going to be better than they will be, while their only hope of doing so (other than the luck of TCR) is via polyjuice potion.
We'd need some extra comments coming from scouts. We could still have "has elite power potential" as a comment, but we'd also need "has elite power potential and THIS TIME, I REALLY, REALLY mean it."
