The discussion came out of your apparent statement that the Scout ability had no amelioration of the bad outcome, making it seem that you did not understand the benefits of the card. If indeed you were comparing the actual Scout to some hypothetical version of Scout that didn't have a Fame bonus then you did not sufficiently make yourself clear.
I think the plain text of what I wrote is completely clear. But even if it weren't clear, I re-explained my statement two posts later so there couldn't be any possible doubt. And then people argued and argued and argued about some point that I never made and frankly have no interest in. (I don't even really understand what the other thing that people keep talking about is, I just know it's unrelated to the point I was making, it has something to do with whether using the Scout is higher or lower variance than not using the Scout, I have no opinion about that at all.) I don't know why. If people keep misstating my point then I will keep explaining what my actual point was. On the other hand, if people have no interest in my point, that's just fine. There are plenty of other points that other people make that I have no interest in either. Everyone is interested in different things.
