I agree 100%. There is no substitute for hard data, but having someone that actually remembers what the robots look like, how they play,what they do in a match and so on is very benefical. At events for my team, I watch one or two teams a match and write qualitative notes down. At the end of the event I know the basics of every team (and a lot about certain teams) and could make a pretty good pick list. But, I'm always surprised when going through the data to see how well or how poorly some teams actually do (consistency, especially in autonomous, is typically the biggest source for deviation). It simply comes down to not being able to watch every match for every team.
