I have been doing some playing with SharkScope also. It's kinda cool lol.
Anyways, in the FAQ of Sharkscope I think they answer that...
Q: How are rebuy expenses calculated?
A: Most sites do not display how many rebuys each player bought during a tournament therefore by default
we have to estimate the rebuy expenses and assign the average rebuy expenses for that tournament to each player. In the long term this will provide reasonably accurate results, however if want to display your results without any rebuy expenses, using a custom number of rebuys per tournament or simply exclude rebuy tournaments altogether then you can do so using the advanced search options. Note that the SharkScope Desktop provides a feature for uploading rebuy and add-on information for Pokerstars tournaments that get accurately incorporated into your statistics.

One thing that I think is interesting is this piece:
"In the long term this will provide reasonably accurate results"
That assumes that each player is just as likely to rebuy, over a sample of thousands of tournaments. That just not true, as some people may give themselves a stop-loss on how many rebuys they want to fire, and some people may literally never rebuy, while some people will be prepared to fire as many rebuys as needed. So that will skew the results for a particular player, over time, given their rebuy tendencies.
