A scale isn't a state. It's a scale. A state isn't a scale. It's a state. One is a value, one is a range.

A scale is a hypothetical construct containing all possible values of a property. A state is the value that an *individual* takes on that scale.

They aren't one and the same thing any more than a touchdown and a football pitch are the same or water's boiling point and a thermometer are the same.
