Interesting where this thread is going. I did work on the Framework T5 dig and though I found it a bit of a mind**** at first, it all clicked into place and made sense, and to my mind did empower the site staff to a certain extent. Interesting comment that SCP would reduce diggers to technicians without scope for interpretation, harking back to times when the site director would do all the interpreting.
Most supervisory/PO/PM positions require both initiative and leadership skills, but although all field staff require focus and direction, I think there's a lot to be said for enabling all those working on a site to interpret as they go along, so long as the site director has mechanisms in place to check inaccuracies of fact - encouraging lateral thought without resorting to 'archaeology by committee'.
Answer to the question for me BTW was a bit of both - according to circumstance
