The original abstraction that we always want smoothModel or latentFieldModel is broken. We really want intensityModel (current latentFieldModel), DeDxModel and catchmentModel (both variants of smoothModel but with different rules for handling site_type (DeDx==random effects, catchment == replicate/fixed effect).
