So whats the beef with "best practices"?Over-priced 'consultants' who justify their non-standard settings and unconventional configuration options with 'It's best practice' with an undertone of 'and lesser individuals such as yourself wouldn't understand'
Any attempt to disagree, discuss or suggest alternatives get met with 'Our recommendations are according to best practices' or 'your recommendations are against best practices'
I would add software vendors to that statement. I have had them tell me their settings are BP numerous times with those same undertones.
