> So does it follow that best practices have no value?

It does have value...for those who promote it for their own gain, whether it
is a usability testing shop, the AMA, the FDC, your friendly neighborhood
programming guru, the hotshot design expert, the grizzled corporate turnout
artist, the gymnastic trainer with the foreign accent, etc. Mom, apple pie
and The Best Practice.

Ask yourself this question: what problem does the notion of *good* practice
NOT solve that *best* practice does?

Best Practices,
For when you've run out of your own ideas and context.
