That would make her misunderestimation of Stanley more likely (even if she'd seen his stats, she might have no real comprehension of what they imply, for the same reason we readers would be hard put to tell from the stats of Unit A and Unit B whether a fight between them would be a rout or a close call that the weaker-statted side might manage to win with clever tactics).
