I'm not aware of a study - but that doesn't mean you default to bad math.

I'd use "better" math if it were available. Until then, I'm going to use the best tool for the job, even if it's "bad".

To that end, I refuse to make perfect the enemy of good.

Our difference of opinion is that I think you are refusing to make bad the enemy of good

If you have better, provide it. Otherwise, "the good" is "the best we have" and "the perfect" is "what we don't have".
