Are you willing to state setting scouting to include stats in ratings affects only a human controlled team? Isn't it more logical to think that a switch to affect scouting output affects all scouting? It's more work to code exceptions.
It's a bad idea because it causes another part of the game to give incorrectly information and because we as human players cannot tell in the game whether a hitter is doing well because he's good or because he's lucky. Scout ratings without stats tell us how good he is. Throw stats into the ratings and then there's the luck factor in ratings without us being able to determine if it's real or luck.

It doesn't use stats if you set stats to zero by using 100% for "ratings weight" . Yes in that situation the human's scout will not use stats either. Isn't that what we want, a level playing field? Not to even mention this is what you want, ie no stats in the evaluation.
The scout only knows how good a player really is if set to 100% accurate, any other setting has a fog of war be it with or without stats. How can the user have any idea how good his player really is with this incorrect information? OH NO!!
With that in mind I would think you would say the game should only have a default value of 100% scouting accuracy and no fog of war? Realistic and fun at the same time.
But I guess in the end the game would be better for anyone that used FOW if it were taken away, because they didn't know how the game was screwing them.
Which takes us right back to my point.. You can setup your game to play it your way, 100% accurate scouts and no stats. Others can do the same in a way they choose. IOW good game design. You are arguing against a "win/win". Certainly not the first time you've done so, and I am at a loss to see why how others choose to play when it doesn't affect you is such an issue?
The best part of all of this is... It's not going to change.
