I don't see how you got to that from what I said, if you did. Small ops necessarily have less capacity to move divers around between boats because of experience and preference than larger ops do. That's a problem for some divers, I guess. When I am diving from a boat with inexperienced divers, they generally hang with the DM and leave me and my buddy to our own devices, which is OK by me.Then be upfront and transparent. No need to go through all the vetting if experience and preference doesn’t matter.
