    Stuart Schechter has used the following as a sig:
    Best practice:
    An idea that has no evidence to support its merits, and that probably doesn’t work, but that you can attribute to someone else when things go horribly, horribly wrong.
    Sample Usage: Don’t worry about the noise from that flaky Geiger counter; this plant complies with all best practices.

    Best Practices are implemented to avoid losing negligence lawsuits. At that, they work pretty well.
    Engineers and lawyers speak past each other extremely efficiently.
