I'll never understand Scott's strategy for the reasons you stated. It was risky and if performed in one of the earliest seasons (where characters weren't dumbed down and quickly found out antagonist's true identity), he'd be caught on act and voted out. Not to mention that if his plan worked before the merge, he'd be more likely to lose against 5 Maggots and thus would share DJ's Team Victory fate. Even if he somehow made it to the merge, he'd be the prime target because the others would barely know him. This is why I prefer him post-merge but even there he was lucky.
