"Best practices" are neither a hard science nor immutable. They are derived from observations about what works and what doesn't and are, therefore, subject to change over time as technology evolves. It's important to remember science, as in "what we understand about the world" also changes. What doesn't is the scientific method.

Did you read the text I pointed you to?

And I did read that text. In fact, I had read it earlier.
