[Monty Python]

I suggest that you put on your flame shield as I suspect that I am going to be the first in a long line of people who disagree with you. But that's all right, it's your opinion and you're entitled to it.

That said, scouting has been tremendously important to me as a driver. Frequently before matches, our chief scouter will come to me and tell me how consistent they are, how they score, what defense needs to be played on them, their autonomous modes, and most importantly, where they score. In short, a lot of information that allows us to plan a more accurate and specific strategy that relies on information that takes more to gather than just having a few people watching matches. For instance, this team scores here and here around the 1:15 mark consistently, so try to play defense at this point in this way.
