Well, it has been stated during the battle at the Hand of Arleen by Ran himself. Also, keep in mind that when Ran was introduced, it was prior to the training by the end of which he started using Maschenny Style and offered to switch to Spear Bearer. In addition to SIU's blog post, all of this suggests that the information you're currently defending--that I was labouring under until recently--is obsolete, and has been obsolete for a surprisingly long time considering how frequently some pages get updated.

Also, except for Novick in closed-quarters situations (which makes sense), the examples you list don't really serve your point of performance deviating from position; mostly because they are Scouts. Unless you're pointing out that neither of them use Observers, which appears to be strongly associated with the "information-gathering" Scouts, both Hatsu and Daniel conform to their positions quite well. The fact that it came as a surprise or that some people don't see it is because they most likely forgot how the Scout has been defined.

In any case, I tried, but I'm not going to pursue this further. I shall leave this character in your care.
