There are only a couple of teams that publish scouting databases. There are a few more if you include scouting apps. I know my previous team did mention the scouting database as part of the Community Service Slide. I also know they never claimed the other teams that downloaded the file as being "mentored" or "assisted" in their chairman's presentation.

So it is either (a) some team did claim that or (b) somebody thinks that a team like ours had claimed that but not sure so adding this clarification will make sure it does not happen. Either way it is sad we have to come to that.
I took that more as something relatively benign-- Karthik/Simbotics have been releasing a pre-Champs scouting database since forever, so given that this was constructed in collaboration with HOF teams, I can see how they might see this as uncontroversial statement or at least one that's just coming from their experience. I certainly didn't read it as a jab at any particular team.
