I can see both sides to this argument and both sides are correct wrt what are they trying to achieve.If training at the basic level requiring multiple position changes especially with a three or four ship then renumbering decreases confusion. If training for front line ops without multiple formation changes then not renumbering is the way to go. The crux of this is that what is the aim of the formation! Common sense should prevail and just because one community does it this way does not mean that another community is doing it wrong.
The important issue is that dEspite a renumber there still is only one leader of the formation regardless of where that person is in the formation.
