Hi William. I've not read Scott's analysis, but from what you've said, they seem to be tracking different things.

You mention that Scott was looking "evergreen" stories, which would suggest that they are narratives which can flex around different audiences and market conditions. The study I did with Bruce looked at the patterns among the most profitable low budget movies. So films could feasibly be in one, both or neither cohort without any conflict.
