It works the opposite way as well.
One could see that if Caldari got precision, they'd be granted 1+ High slot and then some, thus giving them more room to tank/excuse to tank. At the same time they could have fits that beat out any other suits' precision. It's a two sided power coin that the Caldari has.
The problem with Caldari is that shields don't inhibit movement speed so they are the ultimate scout tank. Giving the Caldari an extra high slot can make room for shield mods.
Also, if a Caldari stacks 4 CMP Precision thus forcing a Gallente to use 4 CMP damps, the Caldari has two low slots that it can armor tank with thus achieve a higher HP than the Gal Spook who has two high slots left.
Right now the only thing that can scan a Caldari scout is another Caldari scout. So it gives all the more reason to be a Caldari scout, so you can scan the Caldari scouts, who are the biggest scout threats. And because you are not alerted when you are passively scanned, it gives more advantage to be scanned and scan back then to not scan and not be scanned back. Gives less reason to be any other scout because of the 3 advantages that are held in the Cal scout.
I'm not saying that Caldari can't have precision, but I'm saying high slots are a powerful asset when combined with a precision bonus.
Dampening on the other hand offers no advantage. If you can't scan back while being dampened you are just as blind as they are to you thus it's a tie. Dampening makes you not-disadvantaged.

Here's a solution if Caldari wanted to keep their bonus.
Decrease Scout precision to 1 point above profile.
Decrease Caldari precision bonus to 3%. There we go.

One precision enhancer is enough for any scout to scan any suit without a dampener, assuming max skills for both players. After that, its about scanning galscouts. And again, galscouts only need to fit 2 dampeners to be invisible to everyone, because of the limited high slots on the amarr scout. Plus, as stated before, Caldari would do everything in their power to counter their hated enemy the Gallente. A galscout should only be invisible to everyone if he fits a full rack of dampeners, and then he will be paper-thin, which is balanced. If precision goes to the amarr, he need only fit 2 to be invisible to all, meaning he has a 800hp ceiling if he spent the rest of the slots on tank.
Amarr needs three dampeners to be invisible to itself while Caldari and Gallente only need two. Unless you count cloak but then still they'd need to fit precision amps to make use of their bonus except against the Minnow scout.
Plus as stated before, Caldari are about range.
You are missing the point of my argument. My point is that if the Amarr get range it could be seen as giving them an extra low slot thus more room to tank. Your argument works backwards as well thus counters itself thus isn't much of an argument.
If you give Caldari precision you give them room for shield tanking.
If you don't give Caldari precision you give them excuse to tank.
You see the issue here? It's an impass argument.
Besides you realize that the Charlie implementations are a jury rigging until we get module efficacy bonuses right?

I believe that these are experimental tie overs for legion.
CCP wants to test the waters with radical changes while they work on getting us the module efficacy bonus which is ten times better fix for scout.
It's just a madscientist project for a hotfix.
