I didnt pass over it, I just dont agree with your assumption that this evaluation was the deciding factor in getting the offer or not. You have your interview and your resume and both or either one of those is more significant than a reference especially for a mid term hire. The ISs main driving factor could be as simple as are you available and do you know the content material, and their only concern with the reference may have been limited too not touching students and not touching money and the rest isnt important. That doesnt make this a good reference, it isnt, it just didnt likely matter in this scenario, that doesnt make the reference something in the group of "good" or good enough" and considering how much you paid for it (paid dearly), it sounds more like your trying to rationalize value out of it instead of recognizing you got bamboozled by a HOS who sold you a bag of magic beans multiple times, and the beans werent magical.
