It never occurred to me that this could be done, so yes, you've educated somebody, but I would never do it. One, I don't want to lose my opportunity to play this game; too much fun now that I'm beginning to understand, and two, it's still possible to train people effectively. There are many players out there that are willing to share what they know that will help make you a better player of this game, if you're interested.
But wouldn't it be fun to have a team that spends all it's money on scouting? On the other hand, I've drafted 3 NT candidates in the 8 or so seasons I've played. That's not a bad record, but I do spend less on scouting than I used to. My problem in the early days was, I didn't know what to do with them, so I sold them. If I ever get another one, I think now I'll be able to train him to be a top player.
