Not all best practices are equal. They are dependent on the context and the objectives of the activity. Two examples... There is a best practice for opening a milk carton. The best practice is also the common practice - the way the carton was designed to be opened. Maybe there's a screw cap. Or a fold to be peeled back. But this isn't the only way. I could puncture the container with a writing pen and drain the milk out through the hole. Or cut off the top of a paper container with a pair of scissors and pour out what I need. A few folks might think it odd, but aren't likely to care much.
