Yes, scan only uses the fingerprints and ignores everything else. That’s why most people here recommend using Lookup (which makes use of existing tags and rakes clusters into account) first and Scan only if Lookup fails to give correct results.

But I like the idea of having a more intelligent thing, that combines both tools.
