I’m not a real high tech guy and don’t know anything about digitizing heads, however on the older cars with cast iron heads the same casting number can vary greatly from one head to another. On the new cars with CNC ports I’m sure digitizing would be possible.

In my mind that is exactly what they are trying to do with using the scanner it will take all subjectivity away. The number of Tech people that can look at a 1962 head and say if it looked right or not are getting very hard to find. I am assuming that there will be a tolerance of some type built in for core shift and wear. In my mind it is better than the free for all that is happening today.
