How accurate does scouting need to be?

Hi,

I'm part of the programming team that's working on the scouting system. Our team is trying something new for the scouting this year: Tracking position of the robot as well as actions. (Among other things) From our tests, it seems to me as though this will make the scouting less accurate.

From doing this, using last year's scouting system a bit, and doing paper scouting, it seems like there is a tradeoff between accuracy and amount of data.

So, my question is this: Would you prefer to have lots of less accurate data, or not as much accurate data?
(This isn't going to affect our scouting system, I'm just curious.)
