I said three of five year recalc smooths player and league output when used with pre-calc. I didn't say pre-calc did it. Three year and five year are a moving average. The effect of a moving average is smoothing. Pre-calc lets it happen. Auto-calc prevents it.
Pre-calc is not "Just a set of modifiers". It is very important because it is the actual league output environment for the selected year. And it's useful for more than "certain types of games". It is the only way to let strategy and talent differences show in the output. And a pre-calc file created with 50 or 100 runs is better for a replay league than a auto-calc file created with 3 runs.

I am not confusing anything. The ratings from the scouting reports are the ratings the human and computer manager see and use to make decisions. If the rating includes a stats component then the influence of actual rating in the rating shown in diluted. That is, unless the computer manager receives different information than the human manager. Is that a feature that has not yet been revealed?
I could have added that if scouting accuracy is set to 100% then the computer manager evaluation settings should not include any consideration of statistics. It should have 100% in the ratings box.
