+1 to that. I'll also state that there are certain "Best Practices" that were born just because someone decided to call it that and they've actually not done any testing to support the "Its a best practice" claim. To wit, there are some "Best Practice" recommendations that I've run across in the past that are actually worst practices in my book the worst of which is "It's ok to use a While loop if you can't figure out another way to do it". They never identify what a While loop is actually appropriate for nor demonstrate methods to easily avoid While loops and so people don't take the time to learn the any way to avoid the While loop because it's supposedly ok to use if you can't think of a way. 🙂
