The rationale for that is to avoid exactly what mxy suggests happening. I dont think fake PL drawing out PL def is a bad thing, but presumably BB does.

That depends whether this is an augmented inc scan or a military scan, BB was undecided on this in his proposal. The later a scanner could do circumventing the boost to dist whoring. Having it as a mil scan also means alliance DCs can use it without having to get the defender online, which otherwise would rather undermine the rationale for having the scan in the first place, you can already organise PL def if the relevant people are on! (presumably this would not actually be a real military scan but would simply tell the destination of fleets and their eta, without providing details of their composition)
