So you are neatly packaging your knowledge, publishing it and marketing it (at least here and on reddit, not the smallest websites, possibly elsewhere) but somehow it's still a "personal document" and your "best practices" shouldn't be followed?

As soon as you publish your document and market it the context of your statements changes. A lot. Think about all the *-killers that pop up every single day: the Internet loves to bash them when they fail.
I see your point. This started off as a personal/close-knit reference for me and my teams’ best practices. Then I thought I might as well share it, even if only one other person finds it useful then that’s better than keeping it to myself. I packaged it with caveats and disclaimers and you can take the advice or leave it.
A document was created for a small audience, sharing it was secondary, and an afterthought. It is not up to me to decide who follows them and who doesn’t; I merely made them public and people have the ability to pick, choose or even ignore at will.
