Besides, the obvious thing is: You don’t get to argue about this if there isn’t something before it. It’s kind of fun to see people pretend that this isn’t the case.

But I’ll stop now.
You are arguing against an invisible boogey-man.

Nobody, literally ever, has said that scouting is useless. You HAVE to have it.

But it also doesn't replace the need for statistical valuation.

If it can be viewed (a human action), then it can be measured. If it can be measured, it can be objectively analyzed.

This is true to all forms of life and business.

You aren't going to run a billion dollar business and not fully understand that statistical values the game has at it's disposal. You have to look for the efficiencies.
