You couldn't have said it better. For example, say a team has done only one error, and say its a human error easy to fix, such as "someone messed with a limit switch" (which happened to another team unfortunately) or something related, I think very insightful scouters would know and come back for another match.
Well of course they look for consistency, but good scouters know what mistakes were made and how often. And if it isn't often, then I think you got yourself a good one. (Of course it depends on every other factor)
Yes and I have to stress his point -- Rank clearly does not matter in the picks too much. I would say there would be a trend for sure, but sometimes you'd have to omit that to circumstances.
