This makes me wonder about just what a "best practice" is. So far i took it to mean "behavior that is better than other related behaviors in more situations". But you seem to say it means "behavior that is better than all other related behaviors in all situations". I'm not sure i'm reading you right there, but i'm wondering.

Would you mind elaborating on just what a "best practice" is?
