ShotBench, CineTechBench and CameraBench test recognising techniques in stills and clips. Does high accuracy translate into better shot lists or camera plans for a script, and who judges that?

Why this is still open: The benchmarks' abstracts report recognition scores; none of the sources read links scores to downstream planning quality.
