I think it is the word "just" that I and others have a problem with. The mental image of a team picking solely based off OPR seems almost as wrong as picking the next highest seed. Granted OPR is a much better metric than the ranking system, but great alliances aren't composed of offense alone.

Even without a scouting system providing hard numbers of a robots capabilities, a lot of useful soft information can be gleaned by talking to teams in their pits as well as talking to spectators.
