The worst thing to ever happen to "best practices" was when managers found out about them. Suddenly, we were not allowed to think for ourselves and solve the problem at hand, we also had to figure out what "best practice" to use to implement our solution.
And it's not like you can argue against "best practices". They're the "best" after all. So that makes you less than best, to oppose them!
