I'm not saying rely entirely on qualitative data. I'm saying qualitative data streamlines the more detailed data into something much more usable. I only assign the most experienced, most knowledgeable scouters to qualitative scouting. If you can't trust your own scouters to be taking decent data, either they need more training or they just shouldn't be scouting.
