Well, only up to a point; there *is* truth in the battle against
best-practices worth fighting, but best-practices also comes with a
swag of reasonable and even positiove things about it, all rooted in
the fact that we're not all created equal.

What, so now 'best-practice' is becoming the avoidance of
'best-practice' from the past? In other words, the ever-constant
battle for change? Who would had thunk it' :)

I did understand that part, you know. :) But again, I don't think it's
fair to even talk about best-practice in the way it is portrayed here;
it is not about best-practice, but about thinking about the problem
you're trying to solve, right? As far as I know, your biggest gripe
about it is the way best-practices inhibits people from thinking for
themselves about the best way to solve a given problem?

I think my point is that it isn't bad to think outside nor *inside*
the box as opposed to not think at all.
