I don't think "impossible" is scout specific. If it was then when you drafted you would find that some of those "impossible" players aren't really but players your scout didn't identify that way actually are. Since it doesn't seem to work that way, I'm going to conclude that "impossible" is a statement of fact and not something that every scout interprets differently. I have yet to see a scout be "wrong" about the impossible tag and I've run through hundreds of drafts.
