Good practice does not in my opinion dictate endless repetition and duplication in the case of negative trenches - as anyone who has ever undertaken a large and largely negative evaluation would realise.
I would largely agree with that (sorry, CK). My problem comes in when shorts cuts are taken that don't allow for re-assessment of the site at some future date - there still has to be a basic record that is written up and archived. And short cuts being taken that aren't agreed, because that's when you can get into short cuts being used to disguise bad practice, or more typically, not enough resourcing. 'Cause that's a different kettle of fish altogether.
And would also agree that sometimes you need single context planning, and sometimes you don't. But it is fun flipping through the permatrace at the end of a single context site - sort of like one of those old flip picture books you used to get when you were a kid.
