If so, we can talk about that particular guideline itself, without throwing away the whole concept of guidelines to try to do better.
Yes, sure, we shouldn’t throw away the concept; but that’s not at all a reason to start with the presumption that these particular guidelines are any good!
As far as examples go… well, quite frankly, that’s what the OP is all about, right?
An analogy I keep thinking of is the typescript vs javascript tradeoffs when programming with a team.
Apologies, but I am deliberately not responding to this analogy and inferences from it, because adding an argument about programming languages to this discussion seems like the diametric opposite of productive.
