Oh, I see. Well, that's consistent with what I said earlier. Spending a unit to look, as opposed to just taking your chances, seems to me usually too costly. It's also most important early in the game, which is when you're least likely to have the Scouts ready and be willing to use them for that.
The exception might be a Tomb or the like, where sometimes you can kill some enemies very easily and others are a disaster. Also, as you get stronger, the relative value of the Scout's other abilities goes down.

In addition to Tombs later, I do feel like there's a broad swath of Day One and Night One where there's a lot of uncertainty around face-down brown, grey and purple tokens, which is where the Scout's ability would shine the most.
But also I think that (with a few exceptions) most non-elite units' relative value goes down as you get stronger, so they're pretty ordinary in that regard.
