I agree that we see a lot of misuse of the term "best practice" today, and
understandably it has become popular to criticize this misuse.
However, the statement "Copying someone else's apparent success is like
cheating on a test. " in the link referenced below ignores a major reason for
progress in the past thousands of years of human history.
If we can only learn from our own mistakes and are prevented from applying the
hard lessons learned from other people I guess we would not be communicating
using computers today...
