Yeah sure there are ways to separate some scouts from others but that still doesn't tell you if the scouts are any good in the first place.

I mean they could tell you that Jankowski is a first round pick and you wouldn't know any better.
Yeah, exactly. Who cares that 20+ scouts from 20 other NHL organizations think he is a first rounder too!
