I think you have that wrong.
From the manual: "By default, OVR ratings are based exclusively on underlying actual ratings only."

In my opinion, the game has it right, the evaluation of a scout should not take stats into account. The whole point of the gm role, as we play it in the game, is dealing with the uncertainty created by the fact that we have two sources of data to evaluate players: scouts' opinions and stats.

If the OVR were to mesh scouts' opinions and stats in a way that reflects the user's preferences, then every decision regarding lineups, signings, trades, promotions/demotions could be bogged down to blindly acting according to what the OVR/POT rating says, since you would hardly have any data to contradict that.
