Of course it does, because everyone who does it different to me is WRONG!
The main benefit of standardisation is that most Diggers work for a lot of different units and its easier to avoid cock-ups if most units use the same systems. Yes it should be fairly easy to say 'we use this system' but in practise its a lot harder than you'd think.
