In a UK style low vis narrow situation I would have thought anything that makes you more able to manage the problem by yourself was a serious plus. Even the DSAT/PADI operation tolerated my inverts.

I am not sure if you are being mischevious or whether you are believing the misinformation people like to write about GUE trained divers. A GUE trained diver is expected to be really sorted in terms of diving basics .... buoyancy control, trim, situational awareness, ability to donate gas to highlight just a few.... but on top of that they have a role to enhance the enjoyment of the dive for the rest of the team by helping/assisting where appropriate. So there's no concept of .... "Oooo I have a problem ...I'll do nothing and let my team sort it out for me" ....
