The whole point of "best practices" is to codify what most smart people would suggest as a set of default behaviors. For any given best practice there are likely to be good reasons to deviate from it. For example, normalizing your data in an rdbms is considered a best practice. However, there are good reasons to denormalize your data. That doesn't mean that normalization isn't a best practice though, it just means that you should know your situation and understand when to deviate from general best practices in order to fit your unique situation.
