ScoutingGuru is also been a term loosely used to describe GMs or scouts that find talent that defies the main stream scouts and media. When a player is brought in as a free agent there isn't much fanfare, but if he is drafted the critics come out in droves to criticize that teams scouting department for not taking a mainstream hyped player. The criticism is mainly created by the media and fans to support their lack of understanding or knowledge of a players potential. These players are also known as '''flying under the radar''' if suddenly other teams take a late interest.

Computer-aided Scouting that uses any formula less than 4 years has to be deemed at best analytical more than scientific. Simply because most computer aided scouting is done by a measure of success and/or failures of players during that particular span of time. Due to the fact the game statistically changes every 15-20 years it is important for the methods use to analyze and project evolve with the game.
