Thats very true, but often easier said than done... not exactly going to help your prospects in that county if you drag the curator over the coals are you... and we do keep coming back to the same thing... consistancy there is none... there are good ones and average ones, ones who work in the field and ones that did it at university, ones that are able to judge a good building record, some that aren't, some that understand geophysics in their area, some that don't... some that got into post by outlasting everyone else, some who are there on merit... a curatorial brief can be different on either side of a border. I was i ALGAO myself... in my development control days... and the cop out clause was always... take it to the council... who of course are able to understand the complexities of archaeology by getting advice from... oh... hold on.... the curator. 
Complain to who.... now if the curator was in teh IfA, they could complain to them
SURELY THATS WHAT YOU WOUULD WANT..
Some counties are fiefdoms... lets not forget
