Correct. Actually, ParaView does not care whether an array is
marked as an attribute (scalars, vectors etc.) or not. Any point
array with 1 component can be used to isosurface, for example.
The problem with having two SCALARS field is that the reader can
read only one at a time (the one which is marked with SetScalars).
