I think this attack on the field was one of the worst decisions the CofS made, because field auditors tended to be normal people with lives and so were the natural outreach of the CofS into the community. Cutting down on field auditing made the orgs much more of an esoteric sect isolated from its host communities than it had been previously.The thinking I was increasingly seeing in the 1980s and later, was that it was criminal to make money from Scientology, unless most of the money flowed up to orgs and Int.
Thus field auditors who kept most of their revenue and only had to flow 10% outlines were stamped out. FSMs who got 10% of what they regges were OK.
