Would A Simple SwitchStand With A Target Have Prevented The Fatal Amtrak Head-On In Cayce, SC?

Simple question... If there was a switch point indicator, meaning a target on a switchstand... Would the CSX conductor have still left the switch lined for the siding? Which caused the fatal Amtrak/CSX collision in Cayce, SC...

(Opinions, Comments, 2¢, etc. are welcome. Thanx)
